The law mandates nothing. It “allows” school marshals.
The state law also “allows” school districts to have their own police department yet probably 95% do not.
If the voters want something, they can absolutely have it. Those voters are the ones in the local school districts who elect their school board.

(2.) No.

I have a good friend that teaches at the school where my kids go & he is not 100% sold on arming teachers. He said some of those kids are bigger & stronger that could take a gun away from a teacher potentially. I see his point & concern. There are many cases where it has been a current student that was the shooter. Knowing you potentially have a student lurking & plotting could be of concern knowing guns are present somewhere. Worse case scenario that kid is able to isolate a teacher that is carrying now you have a self defense situation. I’m curious if there is situational training to address this?
My wife is a teacher (1st grade) & so far no talks of arming teachers where my kids go but she and I have had many conversations on this subject of whats best options. Sounds like many schools have taken action. That’s good to hear

1) Their choices SHOULD NOT come with additional responsibilities.
Your answer was : Yes it SHOULD NOT?
2) If a person refuses to use tools given to perform thier duties they SHOULD still be required to complete the task.
Your answer was: No they SHOULD NOT?
If this is correct can you please elaborate.

Thats a **** poor squeamish coward excuse and he shouldnt be armed anyway.
It would have been better had he said, "guns scare me".

I believe on line schooling will become " the thing" in years to come. All these shootings are just unbelievable, and don't seem to be ending. If the teachers are carriying, I hope the students don't know wich ones are. Because they will be sought out first, most of these are done by students of that school, or former students. Times are changing.

And I will ask this again to everyone. Please show me this huge uptrend in school shootings. All I've seen are the exaggerated media charts that include everything they can fathom to get the numbers up.
I want to know per capita the number of kids shot going back 30 years.

If a teacher carries the students will know. If you think otherwise you need to go spend time in an overcrowded classroom.

How does this ignore list work?

Some amazing statements. Be proactive not reactive.
The school system my wife retired from going on 2 years ago HAS designated armed teachers/administrators but their identity is NOT known except for a few in admin. The goal "should be" NO students are aware, make it known there is a "RISK" to any who would do harm at the school. Frankly, in a large population/campus, the presence of "1" resource officer is a deterrent....to a point?
The "Marshal" concept is great in theory and "Training" is the key. I still struggle somewhat with those designated to carry who not law enforcement/military background to confront the assailant so Train, Train, Train! Obviously, keep in mind not everyone who wears the badge has had to use deadly force. You would believe you can and would but never know for sure until the time comes.
To do NOTHING and not prepare, IMO, is like ignoring & conceding it's inevitable. Not the attitude I would want for my family or kids!! ARM THEM!
