What you said is correct but I hope I may add a little clarification.o b juan wrote:Texas has a School Safety Course offered By Tex DPS since Last year. How many ISD's Have taken it ? A person who is emploed by an ISD may take the course and if and when they pass they may carry a Handgun on campus for the above purpose if the ISD approves them.
There is a District in the area that I live and they received a grant for 4 Million $.For School Safety . I offered the the class and the Lady that was responding for the Superintendent looked at me like I was from Mars. I assume they will use the money for crossing guards and fire alarms.
The guy (Cruz) that did this knew the "Lay of the Land" and he chose an entry away from the 2 L E officers there. It is strange that they didnt respond as was implied on TV this eve. An attack that is planned will avoid or attack the security (take them out) so they may have more target rich enviorment
The school safety program as designed by Texas DPS is too supplement the officers on campus if there are any.
Object is Avoid, Deny and last resort Defend with Deadly force.
Schools may allow any LTC to carry. The School Safety Certification is not a requirement. A number of schools in my area allow faculty/staff to carry and have not taken the SSC course.
I do wish the schools would take the course and more schools would allow their LTCs to carry and maybe that would dissuade the next bad guy.
I read both of his adoptive parents died. His mom just in November. I wonder if he was living alone and if the guns were in the estate? I guess we'll find out in due time. So tragic.
