Hunter Safety classes move to the school


The Bancroft-Rosalie School Board will allow Hunter Safety classes to be held in the school. A legal opinion from school attorney Kelley Baker said that the Gun Free Schools Act does allow for guns to be used for educational purposes. He recommended that the school and the instructors have a written agreement describing how the program will operate.

The school can provide instructors access to the technology they need to instruct the course. This technology is not available at the Fire Hall, thus the need to change the site.

The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission carries $1,000,000 of liability insurance on approved Hunter Education programs.
