Lawmakers and the governor have doubled down on arming teachers, but so far not even 25% of school districts in Texas have been willing to adopt the plan.
So, Mineral Wells ISD came up with a plan so secret, they won't even say how many people were interested in signing up.
"There are several who say, 'yeah, this isn't for me, I can't do that.' Elementary school principals are one of the main ones that say, 'yeah I probably couldn't do this.' Their hearts are different," said Sellers."We're not just sticking guns in everybody's hands," he said."I grew up with firearms in my life, I've hunted and fished and all of the above my entire life.
He may sleep easier, but the superintendent says school districts were forced to make calls lawmakers refused to handle. National Education Association President Becky Pringle cites arming teachers as a factor in the nationwide teacher shortage.
