President Trump’s plan to arm selected teachers has already been in effect for years in several Missouri school districts, it was reported Saturday.
Aaron Sydow, superintendent of a district in the city of West Plains, told USA Today that it’s “sad that it’s come to this” but necessary.
Teachers interested in carrying concealed weapons go through 40 hours of training — which also includes a psychiatric evaluation.
Those who pass must also undergo 24 hours of training every year.
He declined, for security reasons, to say how many teachers at his K-8 school, are armed, but said there are “several.”

Get ready for higher taxes to pay for these teachers to get trained (5 paid days) and continuing training every year (3 paid days). Schools will ned to pay for biometric safes for the classrooms too. Everyones pays regardless of whether you have children in the school system.
In some areas teachers have been armed for over 15 years. So all those teachers who are saying teachers want to teach and not be armed and all the other nonsense keep you comments to yourself. You are only proving to everyone just how uninformed and clueless you are and just what ignoramuses are teaching the children.

Do you really care about higher taxes if they save people's lives?
It's not saving lives. 55 million school age children. How many died as a result of school shootings last year?
You do the math. 200+ have died this year in texting while driving accidents. Want to save the children? Ban cellphone use in moving vehicles. The phones can automatically shut off when car is in motion.
