A Pennsylvania school district that drew media attention and public mockery for its plan to arm students with rocks in case of an active shooter situation has arranged to add armed security for its buildings. Blue Mountain School District Superintendent David Helsel made the announcement Sunday night in a statement on the district’s website. The district currently has one maintenance worker who's trained and armed, according to previous reports. The superintendent said the stoning strategy is a “last resort.”On Friday Helsel posted a video on Facebook explaining the safety program, ALiCE, which stands for Alert, Lock Down, Inform, Counter and Evacuate. He called the necessity of the rock contingency a “sad commentary on our current situation in our nation.”
