Every school should have an assigned police officer present throughout the school day. I'd go further and make it on a per-student basis so larger physical buildings have enough coverage. My school district approved significant funding a couple years ago and one of the budgeted items was for security. We have a full time officer dedicated to the two elementary schools that are adjacent to each other. He splits time between the two and everyone really likes him. The cruiser is always on display out front at drop-off and pick-up. Ideally, I'd like to see one at each school and would be happy to chip in to make it happen. This is where government can ACTUALLY do something good and address a real problem. How much would it take for the feds or states to set up an operating fund that could offset much of the cost to local school districts/municipalities to make this happen?
I think reasonable people can agree that children are the most vulnerable members of society and therefore worthy of increased protection. Not a single gun control proposal that the Ds keep blathering on about will stop these shootings. NOT. ONE. The sooner people understand that, the sooner we can start looking at real ways to keep the kids safe. Or at least safer.
