As for me, I am good with leaving the gun behind. I don't need the felony.

I have seen armed Brinks truck guards walk to the back of our elementary school to get cafeteria money. No one even looks at the guy. I don't know if they have permission of the district or even need it. How do you feel about this?

Well, they have to have some sort of license to be a security guard who is openly armed. I remember years ago the first school I attended for chl licensing also trained guys for security and other vocations. I don't know what the law says about an armed guard entering a facility, but also, if the board hires a company to handle cafeteria and athletic receipts and accept that he is armed, that is in writing and presumably legal.
