Why not have them pee at schools (in the office's restrooms, smartass  ) and write their reports, take their 'coop time' or whatever in school parking lots instead? |
ZD, our high school is coordinating with the local PD to do exactly that. They've already set up a protected wireless channel for the police to use, and set aside a physical desk and chair to use if they want to get out of their patrol car for a few minutes.
Discussions are currently underway to examine the need to start buying better quality coffee for the teacher's lounge, as well. I for one am very happy to see the school admin taking this kind of pro-active approach to building a relationship with local LE. Of course, I still periodically remind my kids of the various individual action options they need to consider if they're sitting in class and hear gunshots or an explosion close by.

I think I've said elsewhere here, that on my latest HS campus - out of 150 or so faculty and staff - there were fewer than 10 I'd feel comfortable around if they were armed.

Funny, I look the same way at the percentage of the total number of "teachers" at our school that I feel comfortable teaching my kids to an adequate degree of understanding.
