Granite Mulls School Gun Policy
By Ronnie Lynn

May 21, 2003
Granite School District employees would be fired for leaving a concealed weapon unattended in a briefcase or coat pocket inside a school -- even if they carry a concealed-weapons permit -- under a policy proposed by the school board Tuesday.
Granite's policy is even more explicit than one discussed by the Jordan School Board last week.
Both policies are designed to limit the districts' liability by saying employees who carry or use concealed weapons will be responsible for any claims or damages brought forth because of the weapons.
But the school boards that oversee the state's two largest school districts may be jumping the gun by writing policies to govern a newly revised state law allowing concealed weapons on school property with a valid permit.
