2014
Watkins was in favor of teachers having guns in the classroom for protection. Financially, Watkins felt the district is headed in the wrong direction, saying “I would like for us to start living within our means. I would look at the budget and cut the federal funding. I think it’s unconstitutional that our federal government is involved in the school district.” When asked how the district would respond if federal money was declined without raising property taxes, he responded that, “we need to learn individual responsibility and take care of each other.”[1]
