OHIO (WLIO) - An Ohio lawmaker would like all school educators and staff to wear devices that would alert law enforcement in case of a threat.
Some Ohio school districts have wearable panic alerts, which would call 9-1-1 and lock down the school if activated.
Republican state senator Michelle Reynolds introduced the bill, which requires public and private educators to have panic alert devices during the next school year. This move follows the school shooting in Georgia, where two teachers and two students were killed and others were injured. Teachers at Apalachee High School wore the devices, and some credit the quick response from the law enforcement to the device.
