What I’d REALLY like to see is a “School Marshal” program like Squantos mentioned, but open to volunteer parents.
Parents could pull security on their off-hours providing a free, rotating, roster of guards without anyone but the administration knowing if on a given day the school would have one guard, or seven.
And many people to make it work.
Same opinions as yours ...... I could easily do 3 days a week and extracurricular activities. But as an old retired fart with a beard and a ball cap. I’ve no desire to be an employee. Volunteers with proven experience, credentials and refresher training. Pay my way be it the football game or breakfast / lunch in the cafeteria . Heck even help the janitor run a dust mop as I stroll down the hallways ..... good reason for being around all parts of the building ......
