In response to the Uvalde school shooting of 2022 there was more of a demand for armed guards. In 2022 the Bentonville School District administrators stated that they increased security but that it was not feasible to hire armed guards for all campuses due to difficulties in hiring and in loaning police officers from police departments.[5]
