Ohio schools that allow staff to carry guns increasing but still low
The recent shooting at a Minnesota Catholic school sent shockwaves through school systems across the country and once again has put school administrators on high alert.
⢠Background: The Minnesota shooter killed two school children before dying of a self-inflicted gunshot. The school did not have armed teachers or administrators.
⢠Ohio law: In 2022, following the Uvalde, Texas elementary school shooting, Ohio legislators allowed teachers or staff who receive 24 hours of training to carry a gun in schools.
⢠Ohio schools: A majority of Ohioâs schools do not arm staff, but the number of districts with staff or security carrying guns has grown exponentially.
⢠The numbers: 97 private, charter and public schools have registered with the Ohio School Safety Center to allow staff members to carry guns. There are more than 600 public school districts and more than 700 chartered private schools in the state. In Montgomery County, just six schools have registered to carry guns in schools.
Dayton manufacturer partners with Atlanta recycler on new can ends
A Dayton-Kettering manufacturer whose founder invented the can pop-top is partnering with an Atlanta aluminum recycler.
⢠The companies: Novelis and DRT both work in metal packaging. Novelis focuses on high-recycled-content, low-carbon flat rolled aluminum sheet products. DRT provides high-speed manufacturing equipment for beverage can ends, capable of producing up to 3,000 ends per minute.
⢠The agreement: The companies have entered into an agreement to speed the adoption of high-recycled-content alloys in aluminum beverage can ends.
⢠The goal: It is a âunialloyâ design enabling beverage can ends to be made from up to 99% recycled content. Typically, the body of an aluminum can is made from a different alloy than the can top or end.
⢠History: DRT, once better known as Dayton Reliable Tool and Manufacturing, founded by Ermal Fraze, the inventor of the pop-top beverage can, has been producing in Dayton since 1949.
