Unfortunately it is pretty clear in our Employee Handbook. The district my wife works at is the same... in fact they are almost verbatim. I think TEA has a template for the "local" policies for school districts.

What needs to happen there is to convince enough teachers that the TEA is not operating in the teacher's best interests.

They most definitely are not doing so. They are operating in the Union Bosses best interests.

Tough row to hoe with too many teachers being liberal/progressive mental defectives. But it would help.

I no longer have any but grandchildren in school, but if I did and one of those lefty teachers tried to lie to my child, the fight would be on.

Leaving your weapon in the car in the parking lot does absolutely nothing to stop shooting and killing inside the workplace.

I'd love to be able to carry 24/7... including my workplace. However, I really doubt that the Texas Legislature will ever allow a CHL holder to carry into a K-12 public school. What the parking lot bill would do for me, is legally allow me to carry my gun in my vehicle the 15 miles I drive on Houston's fine freeways to work. I could even run an errand and have some personal protection without having to go back home and get my gun out of the safe.

Actually you can, if the school board says so. There is a small school district in north Texas that has a 30+ minute response time from the local Sheriff that has authorized its administrators and teachers who have a CHL to do so.
