In a rural area like Picacho, it could take several minutes for officers to respond to a school shooting, according to Allen Rogers.
He’s the superintendent of Picacho Elementary School District, which educates 185 students at a school located about 25 miles southeast of Casa Grande but only about 5 miles from Eloy.
Because of the school’s remote location, Rogers said, they’re particularly vulnerable if or when an emergency were to happen.
