When a student shows up at a school with a gun, what is the appropriate reaction from the school staff? That is the question being asked and the question that is impacting high school coach and athletic director Kenneth Miller.
On August 20, 2021, a female student brought a gun to school. Miller responded by restraining the student. The physical altercation was caught on bodycam footage.
It might sound like a good thing to restrain a student who is armed, but that was not the way the school administration felt about it. They responded by suspending Miller. For most of the school year, he was on administrative leave. Then, at the end of the school year, he received the news that he wasn’t being fired but he was being demoted.
