In school safety training, active shooter simulations are a regrettable but all-too-common event. To protect its children, one Christian school is going above and above, though. Above and above the call of duty, they have promised to equip and educate employees to use lethal force when required.
Proactive steps are being taken by Siouxland Christian School in Sioux City, Iowa, to guarantee the security of their personnel and pupils. According to Superintendent Dr. Lindsay Laurich, a few staff members would be compensated for their guns and trained to respond to active shooter situations on campus. The school’s leadership’s long-term consideration of this choice shows how committed they are to safeguarding the welfare of their student body.

“If a tragic event were to occur at SCS, I need to be able to stand in front of you and say that we have done all that we can do. This is a necessary step we must take,” In a letter to parents last week, Dr. Laurich said
“The School Board and Administration have developed the process for selecting and training staff with input from law enforcement, our insurance carrier, legal advisors and industry experts. This has been a serious and diligent process over the course of the past year.”
“In the event of an active shooter event these armed SCS staff are trained to go directly to the threat. Their response will allow teachers and students to get to safe positions and will provide an active response until law enforcement is able to arrive.”
A new policy has been implemented in the wake of the devastating school shooting in Perry, Iowa, which claimed the life of an 11-year-old kid.
“School buildings should be safe. Teachers and children should not be afraid to come to school. We must employ all of the tools and resources at our disposal in order to be prepared for worst case scenarios,” Dr. Laurich added.

Since school shootings have become more common, there has been more scrutiny of Christian beliefs. Three pupils and three instructors were killed by a transgender former student at a Nashville Christian school in a terrible event that occurred last year. The gunman’s acts, according to law authorities, were motivated by anti-Christian feelings.
