Scappoose Backs Down
06.28.2022
On June 21st we informed you of the Scappoose School District’s planned consideration of a policy that would ban law abiding, concealed handgun license holders from being anywhere on school property while legally armed.
This meant that parents and guardians who had the means and will to protect children from attack would be legally prohibited from doing so.
In the wake of the Uvalde, Texas debacle this was clearly an insane policy consideration.
We asked you to take action and you did. The school board has concluded that there is no rational basis to change a policy that has been working safely for over 30 years.
We thank you for taking time to help the school board come to a sensible conclusion.
We want to thank the people who took the time to track down the contact information for school board members, which was not available on the District’s website that we were later able to add to our alert info.
Thanks also to radio talk show host Lars Larson who responded to our last alert and helped get the word out so we could put the brakes on this dangerous proposed change.
School boards are passing these restrictions one at a time, and it’s only because of alert citizens who are monitoring the agendas of Oregon’s many boards that we are able to stop some of these very bad decisions.
Thanks again to everyone for your activism. Scappoose children are safer because of you.
