The U.S. House Appropriations Committee has approved a spending bill for the coming fiscal year, which includes a section based on hearing questioning from 5th District Congresswoman Jahana Hayes.  The included language says there is no evidence to suggest that arming teachers would make schools safer and directs Education Secretary Betsy DeVos to issue guidance clarifying that Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grant funds are not allowed to be used for the purchase of firearms or for firearms training.  During an April hearing, Hayes presented DeVos with a document contradicting her claims that she does not have the authority to respond to questions regarding the use of federal funds to arm teachers.
