What can a parent do to find out if there is any discussion of allowing trained teachers to carry in their community and, if there is not, what can be done to encourage that discussion to begin? Recent events make it seem like the time for this to happen is now. There is a school board in Southern Indiana currently discussing the idea, and local parents are probably in the right frame of mind to consider it here, especially since we are not far from Plainfield and Danville. The local Police Department sent an Officer to each of the County high schools yesterday when the Plainfield and Danville threats were active, but those are large buildings for just one person to cover, and they can't be there all day long, every single day.
So, does anyone know how this type of ball officially gets rolling? Should discussion begin on a low-key level from a parent to a Principal or the local Police Department, or is it better to bring in someone who has experience with these types of programs in other schools or other states to have a more formal discussion? Does anyone have experience with this or suggestions?
