Gun-Toting Staff

Here's an interesting article out of California.  I perceive this could be a controversial issue, but it seems that more districts are considering it. What do you think about this?

California school district allows staff to carry guns on campus

Another school district in California will now allow staff members to carry concealed weapons on campus.

Last week, the Kingsburg Joint Union High School District, located in Fresno County, approved the policy following months of review, reports the Fresno Bee.

The superintendent is reported to have said the new policy will create "a safe environment for students and staff members."

Up to five members of the faculty with concealed-carry permits will be allowed to bring their weapons to school, after an application process, a review of their discipline records and school conduct. Nobody on school grounds will know which five staff members have been chosen to carry guns, school officials say. 

Those allowed will also be required to take firearms training twice a year. 

According to the Bee, while the state Department of Education doesn't track the schools that allow guns on campus, the Kingsburg superintendent pointed to the Folsom Cordova Unified School District. That school district has allowed employees to carry guns on campus for several years.
