The district in which I teach passed it a few years ago that teachers can carry. There is an application/screener they must fill out, then the expectations are:
1. Must have taught in the district at least 5 years and have good standing.
2. Teacher will be covered under the districts liability insurance policy.
3. Teacher's appliaction can be approved or denided.
4. Teacher must have a valid concealed carry permit.
5. Teacher must undergo a family services screening.
6. Teachr must have a psychological exam.
7. Initial training will be 16 hours of handgun training and an additional 8 hours of scenario training which will include active shooter situations and hostage situations. Also non-lethal training.
8. All training, curriculum, and the instructor will be approved by local law enforcement. Someone with 10+ years of law enforcement or military training/experience.
9. Teacher must have an annual renewal which includes:
a. Inspection of holster, gun and ammo by law enforcement.
b. Annual hourly training of 18 hours with law
enforcement/participation in law enforcement training.
10. Teacher must have drug and alcohol tests at random.
11. Firearm must be on person at all times or in a lock box or
biometric container.
12. Teacher will pay all expenses for gun, ammo and training.
13. All teachers that carry will be kept confidential.
That's the jist of it. There are many many more pages of legal jaron in our policy.
I have no idea how many teachers carry in my school district.
These signs are posted on our schools here.
