In the wake of the deadly school shooting in Uvalde, some state Republicans called for arming more teachers.
Texas schools already have the ability to arm teachers and staff by either appointing school marshals or implementing a"Guardian plan."
Marshals are required to take an 80-hour training course from a law enforcement academy and be up to date on all licensing and certification. In North Texas, the Keene, Weatherford, Millsap, Argyle and Rio Vista ISDs have either armed marshals or guardians in place. The hope is that having employees with guns on campuses helps prevent them from becoming targets in the first place.
There is also concern that when there is a gun in the classroom, a student could get access to it, either intentionally or by accident, and cause harm.
