A new state law requires every Utah school to have an armed guardian on site, every day. 

The goal is to protect against school threats. But several districts are struggling to find volunteers willing to respond with lethal force. And there are concerns about who these school guardians will be. Among many other things, the law clearly states the guardians can’t be teachers or principals, and they can’t be assigned the job. They must volunteer. KSL Reporter Deanie Wimmer has been talking to schools and shares insight.
