I personally think janitors and maintenance men would make ideal security personnel. They know their way around and tend to be pretty invisible when they choose to be.

Don’t count out IT staff, coaches, etc...

Yes! I think there are a lot of current school district employees that would fit the bill whether it be janitors or perhaps a counselor or even a principal/vice principal. Just make sure they have adequate training and an extensive background check. I would go a step further and require psychological testing every so often to be sure a screw hasn't come loose.

If you view this idea through the lens of "paid volunteer" athletic coaches, this makes even more sense. A lot of these athletic coaches are also teachers but take on the additional responsibility and are paid accordingly.
