The goal: 10 marshals (teachers trained to carry a gun) in every
school, which would equate to 37,000 statewide. The state would cover
the costs of background checks, drug testing, psychological exams and
132 hours of training. The bill does provide a one-time $500 stipend for
those who volunteer to have a gun.
The bill also calls for spending $400 million to put a school resource
officer in every school, improve mental health counseling and make
public school buildings safer.
A social studies teacher barricaded himself inside a classroom at a Georgia high school on Wednesday and fired a handgun once in what may have been a warning shot, authorities said.Actually, there is much skepticism on Twitter about the Florida plan because of the increase in teacher's liability cover it would guarantee. Yes, covering a school/teacher for accidentally shooting a student is likely to increase premiums, I would expect...
No students were in the classroom at the time, and the only injury reported was a student who hurt her ankle running when Dalton High School was evacuated.
The teacher, Jesse Randal Davidson, was taken into custody without incident after a 30- to 45-minute standoff with officers, Dalton police spokesman Bruce Frazier said. Davidson, 53, serves as the play-by-play announcer for the high school’s football team, police said in a tweet .

132 hours of training is way too low to be effective even assuming all other problems away.
It would need to be weekly for a start so I'm told
