I believe the time has come for public schools to design and administer a security plan. If they do not, then close the school and let a charter school have the land.
The plan needs to include:
1. Access limitation, and a patrol to cover the fence where access could be breached.
2. ID checking. I taught for two years at a school and I was given an ID but it was never asked to show it, and I walked into the school from the parking lot via one of 5 entrances (with many more in the rear of the building.)
3. An armed patrol at each point where IDs are checked for entrance to the school. This is meant to include portables where a fence must enclose them as well.
4. Establish a program where the personnel who are armed are regularly trained (monthly at a minimum) and include teachers who wish to volunteer for the training. People in this program will be allowed to concealed carry on campus and will not be identified to the student body— identification to the rest of the staff is contingent on how willing the staff is to keep this information secret.
5. Regular drills need to be established to make emergency calls to the local police and have the police respond quickly.
6. Students need to have a class in personnel safety where they learn how to protect themselves in their facility and how to not be defenseless in the face of a potential shooter.
I have probably left some things out.

The *ONLY* plan is to re-enable the Free Market.
- Terminate teachers unions and the DoEd
- Terminate any/all property taxes
- Parent(s)\Guardian(s) pay for the education of their own brood\charges
Given:
- Education facilities can hire WHOM they wish
- Facilities are graded against BASELINES (3 R’s and nothing more)
- ‘Graduation’ should require no more than 8 yrs. of formal education.
Which would:
- Open schools of ‘higher’ learning: vocational, arts, music, etc.
- Enable biz to sponsor said ‘higher education’ (journey-men, apprentices, etc.) IE: CONTRACTS of ‘yrs. service for each X $ spent). [have to weigh the 13th here]
....sure I got some other points, but getting long in the tooth, as it were.
I agree, during my teaching years, I always wanted to be able to contract for my services on an annual basis and drop the Union.
