They need secure, controlled entry points and safe lock down procedures... See Israeli schools.
We should be borrowing every fricking best practice known around the world to keep schools safe. I'm surprised that we aren't already.

I support it. I think it would have long term positive effects. Both for the kids learning not to be afraid of police officers but to respect them, but also building rapport with the community, and possibly even help recruiting police officers 10 years down the road. Wins wins.
And then we can all sing the hokey pokey and eat the skittles that come out of the unicorn's arse.
I can only imagine the uproar when the first security guard gets busted for fricking a sophomore in the janitor's closet.
...or when one shows up drunk and lets students play with his gun.
Just because you can imagine an ideal scenario doesn't mean that's how it'd play out. Somehow I doubt you'd be getting the best and brightest at the rates that would be offered for the job.

Every classroom and building with a door can be put on auto shut/lockdown from the front office if a threat enters the school
Armed or not, I don’t want to be involuntarily locked into my classroom if a threat enters the school.

We just sent $40 billion to Ukraine.
The U.S. govt. can pay for this but won't do it.

Nobody would have to be locked IN a classroom. BUT, under a threat you can lock all doors from being opened from the outside when with a badge or code and the only way they could be opened is from the inside with a badge/code.

Come on man. You can't let perfect stand in the way of good. It's better than seeing children gunned down.

This. I really don't understand why there is not a nationwide push for these changes that should have started at least 20 years ago.

I'm just saying this ain't happening:

And if you pay them less than teachers, which would probably be the case, you're going to get some real losers applying for the job.

What are the odds of a child being shot at school?
What are the odds of some low paid rent-a-cop being a creep?

just the mere possibility of a teacher with a .45 hand cannon waiting in that classroom would be a deterrent.
I could endorse this. Not a big fan of sending my kids to pseudo prison courtesy of the state. Don't think we should be conditioning our kids to live in a police state.

Do we have enough cops in the country to do that?
States need to enact a police force for this. If there aren't enough now then hire some.

I did the math at $70k per year salary, it would cost around $18 billion to have two people at every school in the country.
Just a little more perspective...the amount of money approved in the infrastructure bill would cover this cost for roughly 66.6 years.
for the record I'm not suggesting decreased funding for infrastructure, just saying...

Parents club just submitted last night a proposal to the school my son attends... Has 550 students. Increase in tuition $120 year. We will pay an approved retired combat veteran $66,000 a year and is to be on campus at anytime teachers and or students are present. Pretty much work the teachers schedule. We will find a pool of retired combat veterans and decide best fit. Hopefully a student parent. He will have his office located at main entrance and be side armed at all times with additional long weapon to be kept in locked fingerprint safe. $120 a year to protect a child is not much to parents these days.

So you could find protection at all schools for two years with what we just sent to freakin Ukraine
Just think about how many years and how many officers you could pay for with what has been proposed for paying student loans

Wait, now we want more police funding? It’s all so confusing.

My kids elementary school in Louisiana has two police officers on duty at all times and there isn’t a single unlocked door. You have to go through the front and they have to buzz you in where you are greeted by the two officers. All the kids like the officers, look up to them, and respect them. I was thrilled the first time I saw this

There was a cop at the Uvalde school. He exchanged gunfire with the shooter and was injured. That's how the gunman got past him and into the school. You know that guy has to be beating himself up mentally right now.

Harris County, TX has a police officer in every school.

There is a cop at almost every school that I've been to here in bham, and I've been to just about all of them.

Dems don't want that. If there are no more school shootings they can't play bleeding heart to the nation and press for more gun control.
