Allowing teachers and other employees to carry guns under a new state law would cost most school districts their insurance.
EMC Insurance Companies, the states main insurer of schools, wont insure districts with armed employees under the new law, which takes effect July 1. Districts already insured by EMC wouldnt have their policies renewed.
We understand that school districts have every right to decide which way they want to go, Bernie Zalaznik, EMCs resident vice president in Wichita, said Monday. But we have to make the decision based on what we perceive to be our best financial interest.
EMC, which Zalaznik estimated insures about 90 percent of Kansas 286 school districts, has issued a letter to its agents around the state, explaining that concealed carry would pose too great a risk.
