Duval school board to vote on guns in locked vehicles

The Duval County School Board is set to vote on whether guns may be kept in locked vehicles on school property, putting the district’s rules on firearms storage before the board.

What the vote concerns

The question is limited to guns stored inside locked vehicles on school property. The board’s consideration does not, on its face, describe a broader policy covering firearms carried elsewhere on school grounds.

The issue was reported by News4JAX, which identified the pending school board vote.

What happens next

The Duval County School Board must take up the proposal before a policy decision can be made. The vote will determine whether the district allows the described storage of guns in locked vehicles on school property.

The board’s action will be the next formal step in the matter. Until that vote occurs, the question remains under consideration by the school board.
