I see this rifle ...

.
... being a safe queen:

As accepted by the school board, there will be one rifle each in Gainesville High School, Gainesville Middle School and Wood’s Mill Academy. The proposed gun, a Colt 6920 M4 carbine, would be kept inside a safe, accessible only by the school resource officer using biometric technology. 

Sounds like the police are trying to get the school board to help pay for new rifles, since the school board is splitting the cost.
