Shockingly, not everyone thinks this is a great idea.

HEATH (Rob Wells) — A Licking County father says he’s concerned after he heard about an active shooter protocol at his children’s elementary school.

Dean Spencer’s a nine-year-old daughter Vanessa and 8-year-old son Nathan attend Stevenson Elementary School in Heath.

Spencer said his kids were told by school teachers to throw books at any one with a gun should they ever make their way into their library or classroom.

Spencer said he had to ask his daughter twice what she said before he believed her.

“To give them advice or commands to throw things at someone with a gun it’s absurd, it’s insane” Spencer said.

Heath City School District officials said 430 third-through-fifth graders at Stevenson are being trained to use the tactic as a last-line of defense if all else fails should the worst case scenario ever happen.

“Our training to staff and students is we need to get them out of that situation. Everything is about student safety,” Superintendent Trevor Thomas said.
