Teachers in the Seagraves Texas ISD who hold CHLs can now carry on campus to protect students, thoughts? Sounds like a good plan. Most locals are on board, but every town has it's share of libs.
Let us try and keep the discussion clean please.

Smart policy. Smart sign. While such events are thankfully extremely rare-- you are still lowering your odds of being the cherry picked target. don't have to be the fastest gazelle, just faster than the slowest.

I believe this is a deterrent to someone who is considering targeting a school and agree with the policy.
Has the school district instructed teachers on how to react when LEO arrive at a school in response to a report of an active shooter or other potentially violent call?

Im not too sure, as they just introduced the policy, apart from their CHL class, the district does require additional training, that I do know, not sure what training it is though. This is a rather small town <5000, but at least they have set the foot down.

As a LEO firearms and Rapid Deployment instructor, I agree with the policy of allowing a teacher who holds a valid concealed carry license to have a firearm available to protect students.
A clear set of guidelines for a teacher's interaction with law enforcement at the scene of an incident is highly recommended.

Comms are key, if the district has school police, I think it would be a good idea for the officers to at least get to know the teachers. One idea that sounds good to me is: drop the threat, quickly confirm all threats are down, re holster weapon, call the police. that way when they arrive, there is no gun in their hand, so they (teacher) would not be considered a threat to an un knowing responding officer. Sounds good on paper, but hey! anything can happen in high stress situations.Originally Posted by T2C

And if there's never an incident there, the policy will somehow not be regarded by the grabbers as a success... Just that somehow there was a miraculous avoidance of one of the pistols jumping from its holster of its own accord and going on a rampage.

I agree with it and I am glad that they have allowed this.

On the other hand...

In Arizona of all places. So an armed police officer in UNIFORM drops his kid off at school and is apparently too scary?
Get ****ing real people, I'd be happy to have him at my kids school. But the school administration is apparently back pedaling right now with the outcry over this.
Experience is a cruel teacher, gives the exam first and then the lesson.

Had to be a faux news report, my local district has considered arming the teachers too, but it hasnt gathered much steam since we have a rather good district police force, and even our own school police SWAT, most campuses have at least 2 armed officers, they always carry their glocks and in the patrol cars they carry 870s and ARs
