School board wary of sentinel idea By David Lias david.lias@plaintalk.net Judging from discussion Monday night at the Vermillion School Board meeting, it appears that school sentinels won’t be part of the future security plans in the community’s four public school buildings. Hours later, on Tuesday, the South Dakota House passed HB 1087, the “school sentinels” proposal, which will let school districts choose to arm employees or other volunteers against attacks. The South Dakota Senate will next deliberate the measure. Under compromises hashed out earlier in a legislative committee, local law enforcement has to sign off on the plan, and any sentinels have to undergo more than 40 hours of training. A portion of the bill that remained unchanged is its local control aspect, which was the focus of discussion among Vermillion School Board members Monday. “The House amended the bill to require 47 hours of gun training, and also a decision by the school board to allow a gun or guns in the school, or who is going to be appointed to have a gun would be made in executive session,” Superintendent Mark Froke said. 2006 Ford F-150 Super Crew, Lariat, Two Owner, We Sold New 2012 Ford F-250 Reg.
