The Galion Board of Education will not take action to arm teachers and other school employees.

The board revisted discussions regarding concealed and carry for teachers at their regular meeting Wednesday night.

Supt. Dr. Kathy Jenney said the board will not change the school policy. She said the district has been working closely with law enforcement to ensure the district has a strong safety plan in place.

"We've had a lot of conversations with law enforcement and we believe we have a strong security plan in place. We're confident our students are safe," Dr. Jenney said.

"Law enforcement is well prepared for an emergency. We've done a lot of things to make sure they have the tools they need whether its security camera access or door key access," Jenney said. 

In other business, the board discussed the  proposed 8-mill levy that will appear on the May ballot.
 

The board also accepted the retirement of high school assistant principal Steve Kent effective March 1. Kent has been with the district for more than 30 years.
 

 The board also approved a contract with the Columbus City Schools to provide educational services for Galion students hospitalized at Nationwide Children's Hospital.

The board also approved a contract for Galion students with disabilities to receive educational services from Crestline Exempted Village Schools through open enrollment.
