The signs were erected at public schools in Okay, according to the Muskogee Phoenix. The town's police department was reportedly disbanded in 2014, and even though sheriff's deputies are available, Superintendent Charles McMahan says that may not be enough.
"We don't want to be a soft target," he told the newspaper.
One sign reads, "ATTENTION: Please be aware that certain staff members at Okay Public Schools can be legally armed and may use whatever force is necessary to protect our students."

Nice to see some states still embrace the American spirit. We'll done!
This is the only way to truly offer a discreet level of protection for our students. It has been effective where ever and when ever it has been deployed as a strategy.
Schools protected by a single police officer (there were two of them at Columbine) is a nice, feel good effort, but it is woefully inadequate.
You cannot teach our children if you are not able to protect them Mr. Superintendent. I notice that this strategy was rejected in Maryland.
