This teacher training has been getting worldwide attention. When KUTV was there, so was a news crew from the Netherlands. There will be a major difference between what educators are taught at the Teachers Academy and the School Guardian program. At the academy, educators are trained to avoid a potential gunman as much as possible. That will not be the case for teachers who sign up to be guardians.
