MIAMI - Miami-Dade School Board member Steve Gallon III says he wants a clear policy in place that prohibits unauthorized people from having weapons at Miami-Dade Schools.

Gallon is proposing a new Board item that would address the issue and it came up before School Board members Wednesday afternoon.

Gallon told CBS News Miami's Peter D'Oench, "This item would take a hard look at weapons on campuses and school properties. What I am seeking to ensure is that weapons can not be on school grounds by employees or visitors or anyone employees who are not authorized law enforcement officers."
