..my wife works with teachers who are a couple of bricks shy of load. The California educational system has some real loo loos at the administrative and teaching levels.

IMHO trained School Marshalls or special Sheriff deputies are the only answer...

I appreciate where you are coming from, but I’d like to keep this from adding more paid staff positions that could form a union and become a major pain in the ass. I also don’t want to see our education system burdened further by top salaries for positions that can easily be filled by volunteers.

A self vetting association of volunteers would fill the bill nicely IMO.

Thinking back on my HS days (1970-73), I can remember one Biology teacher that certainly fit that description. He was one of my customers on my paper route, too -- hated going to collect there. He'd probably qualify for the Asperger's label today.

"School Marshalls or special Sheriff deputies"

The price of that stops it in most city budgets these days - and the liberals cry for total disarming of the public (a stupid idea that will never happen.)

And, yes, I know several teachers who are indeed 'a couple of bricks shy of a load' - frightened to death at even the sight of a gun.

So perhaps in some places volunteering retired police, sheriffs, etc. might be a logical alternative, as mentioned above.
