The Chicago School Board has a death wish for all their charges, teachers and students alike, and maybe a few administrative types as well.
Since all Chicago schools are “gun free zones” the probability that mass shootings will surely occur several times goes up exponentially. There are any number of ways to sneak handguns or even rifles around a metal detector, that an arsenal could be in a couple of lockers. The $10 million or so “saved” seems like a pretty petty form of “thrift”.
This may be about pensions...
The Chicago School Board are cheap bastards. I’m guessing they will expect the Feds to step in a pay for officers.
