Found this to be a typical American politician approach to a problem. Let's go with the cheapest and least safe methodology to enhance school safety. Lower the required 700 hours of training to "not to exceed" 24 hours for teachers to carry guns in school. Aside from the decrease in actual quality, arming teachers is idiotic. The cost of getting an actual trained police officer in the building should not be a cost we should be willing to ignore as a society yet here Ohio is. Average public school size in Ohio? 488. Average salary of a police officer in Ohio $69,000. Even if the taxes only go up on parents that is less than $150 per year per a child. Isn't that better than arming someone with less than 24 hours of training?
