Re: consent to carry on school premises

"A" board can authorize almost anyone to carry concealed in any or all facilities owned or operated by the district. In practice, it just doesn't happen very often.

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.
