A Texas school district where 10 people were killed in a school shooting in May has reportedly accepted donations of guns and ammunition.

The Houston Chronicle reported Tuesday that Santa Fe Independent School District trustees voted this week to accept a donation from community members consisting of eight AR-15s, optical sights, tuition for a shooting course and $4,800 worth of ammunition for its internal police department.

A spokeswoman for the district said the individuals who donated the firearms wanted to remain anonymous. She also told the newspaper that the district received donations of metal detectors, which are set to be installed at each of the district’s four campuses before the next school year begins on Aug. 20.

Santa Fe ISD Police Chief Walter Braun told the Houston Chronicle that the donated AR-15s would also be custom built for officers’ patrols.

"This is only for full-time staff," Braun said. "We're not outfitting everyone.”

JR Norman, the school board president, said the district does not have a plan in place for the donated weapons to be used to arm teachers.

“On the first day of school, the armed personnel will be the police officers," Norman said, according to the Galveston County Daily News. "We will not have a program in place for any armed teachers."
