I've stated here before that a police officer at a school is the only real solution.
I no longer believe arming teachers is realistic. A teacher shouldn't have to go through police officer training in order to teach.
Maybe in very special circumstances a principal could have a gun locked away. Don't know for sure about that.
But a police officer at a school (or even rotating schools) seems reasonable. Maybe even in plain clothes so any potential perps don't know they're there (kind of like an air marshal?).
Glad to read this story out of Atlanta.
