    Teachers are asking for security to be added after weapons were found at a St.. John’s school. A high school student was arrested. NLTA President Trent Langdon says it was a significant seizure with multiple weapons, including bear spray and bladed weapons. He says one principal has said about 20 percent of students are going to class with a weapon, not necessarily for violence but for protection. Langdon says the more serious problems seem to exist in large schools as opposed to rural areas. He says adding security is just a short term fix and a long term plan is needed.
