100 % in Agreement
Our local school district has it's own police force of sworn armed officers as do many Texas public school districts. They tend to be in place at all of the High Schools and to deal with drug issues. We need more of them and in lower grade schools for protection.
It wouldn't be much of a stretch to expand the force and have them at all schools. It would require some funding or a local property tax increase.
We had an issue in one of our Jr. High/Middle schools last year with a kid coming in with a pellet pistol that looked just like a Glock. He was waving it around and making threats. In that case it was the city police who responded and shot the kid grave yard dead. Of course the lawsuits are flying now.
