A Pennsylvania school district is taking "aggressive measures to improve safety and security."

Millcreek Township School District is training all teachers in the T.R.O.J.A.N. response to a threat. District Superintendent Hall issued 16"-long wooden bats to 500 teachers during training on April 9. An additional 100 bats will be maintained in school offices and other school locations. Hall stated, "Teachers will have the option to use the bats if a threat arises.... it's not about just hiding and waiting. There are options, and one of those is to fight."

The local newspaper reported that the bats cost about $1,800.

There will also be a greater presence of armed police officers in the schools.
