Bill Would Boost Salaries for NC Teachers Who Carry Guns in Schools
North Carolina teachers who undergo specialized police training to carry firearms on campus would get a salary increase, under newly proposed school security legislation.
The School Security Act of 2019 would increase the salaries of teachers who underwent specialized police training to carry firearms on campus. The same bill was filed last year but didn't make it out of committee. Sen. Jerry Tillman, one of the new sponsors of Senate Bill 192, said that the climate has changed to give the legislation more support this year.
