Armed Teachers: Good Idea? Patch Great Neck, NY --

Some Texas school district educators will soon be permitted to carry guns in the classroom, assuming they get approval from the school superintendent, pass a training course and obtain a concealed-handgun license, according to an ABC News report.

In response to last year's deadly shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., as well as the shooting at the Aurora, Colo., movie theater, the Levelland Independent School District, near Lubbock, has decided to institute the new safety policy, according to the story.

The Great Neck school district currently deploys 253 surveillance cameras and unarmed security staff for in-school protection and has publicly spoken out against the use of armed guards at schools.

*Tell Us:* What is your take regarding the contrasting approaches to school safety in the two school districts? Which approach do you prefer and why? Tell us in the comments section. Reported by Patch 5 hours ago.
