I like almost everything in this article.  There is just one thing that I made me cringe a little.  Well besides the fact that a gun was found on school grounds, of course.  It appears that everything did everything right.  The thing that I wish was different is this sentence, "The school resource officer was at the school at the time". While the timing was for this instance was great, I wonder how often is the School Resource Officer really able to be at the school.  How many schools does the office actually have to cover and is there are way to be able to fix that. Ideally I would love to see an Officer and along with that a School Nurse  in each school.  I realize that this is very expensive, but I see value with them being there. I see value in the Nurse being able to teach a class or two a day in such things as Health, or guest lecture in such classes.  The same with an Officer in some of the classes.  I would personally love it if my daughters were taught very early on in their schools (by an Officer) maybe a few times each school year, self defense classes and such. Those are simply bonuses of having them in the schools and things that I think that they could do if they have the time.  I'm sure that there are tons of things that they could and should do there. I know that my children would feel very (possibly even more safe) if they were to see a uniformed Police Officer at their school everyday.  It's just too bad that many of the school's around the country can't afford these types of things.
