Okay I am going to try to wade in again.

Best option is cops in every school, however........

1. It is my experience that most SRO's are LE looking for an easy assignment. This certainly rules out your best LE's.
2. Even though most high schools already have SRO's, this past month has pointed to the need for every school to have an SRO. Unless you increase the mill levy to fund these positions, it ain't going to happen. I am not going to count my city's schools, but it seems to be in excess of 30. that is alot of money!
3. One SRO cannot cover an entire school effectively.

Second option of arming teachers has some benefits.

1. Much less expensive to pay for firearms, initial training and monthly qualification for willing teachers.

2. The X facter is bad guy has no idea how many guns are in the school and who has one.......Ms. Silly, Ed the custodian, school nurse, or perhaps Bubba the wrestling coach. In fact a school could have no volunteers willing to be armed, yet bad guy would have no way of knowing. Unless the Teacher's Union advertised it, not so far fetched.

3. The X factor is tougher to deal with by a badguy .
