In the aftermath of the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., President Trump embraced a proposal to arm teachers as a way to prevent further mass shootings in schools.
His support for the idea, which had been proposed by the National Rifle Association, invigorated a nationwide debate over whether the people educating children should also bear the responsibility of wielding firearms to protect them.
In New York, the answer from state lawmakers was a firm no.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo on Wednesday signed a bill that prevents local school districts from allowing teachers and administrators to carry guns on school grounds.
