These lemmings called teachers are part of the problem.

In a skewed world, where bus drivers are paid minimum wage yet carry a great responsibility for the safety of the children furing trsnsport...I don’t understand why a school protection force or officers assigned is not being considered. Is it cost? If it is cost in the priorities are skewed.

Teachers have nothing to do with that decision. But if they did, most would welcome armed police officers in their buildings.

The local school board makes that decision. And in most cases, the fear of lawsuits trumps the concern for student safety. Suppose some jury found that a school cop used excessive force. The payout would be huge.

Schools boards do not want to take that risk.
