Not sounding good to me. Danger in the air. Under paid, disrespected, blamed for the ills of the nation, over worked, expected to work for free, oh yeah, give em guns! Not genius. Hell in Florida, we are legally prohibited for even having a strike and you want to give us guns?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107550755163115303.post-6834578281744791052018-08-25T00:51:52.606-06:002018-08-25T00:51:52.606-06:00This is part of the “Student Support and Academic ...This is part of the “Student Support and Academic Enrichment” (SSAE) grants that was signed into law in March 2018. Every district will receive at least $10,000 through the SSAE program. Districts receiving more than $30,000 must: Allocate their funds as follows:<br />20 percent on well-rounded student supports.<br />20 percent on safe and healthy school activities.<br />60 percent as they choose across all three usages, with a maximum of 15 percent on purchasing education technology.<br /> The Secretary of Education is considering to allow districts to spend money on purchasing guns for teachers under the “Safe and Healthy” category. There are many school districts across the United States that allow teachers to carry guns. And if those districts want to use these funds to purchase guns for their teachers, then it would be up to that school district to do so.<br /> If your school district does not allow teachers to carry guns, then no worries. They can use the money for other activities. <br />Rob Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06279733614071301652noreply@blogger.com
