I was submitting some results from a recent LTC Class that I taught, and I noticed one of the changes on the site was to submit School Safety Certificate results.  As I dug into it, it's apparently a course taught to teachers who desire to carry in schools.

It looks like there's only been a few classes of instructors, so I'm thinking about jumping into this early.  Anyone already done this?

...The written regulations must also require that a
handgun carried by or within access of a school marshal may be loaded only with
frangible ammunition designed to disintegrate on impact for maximum safety and
minimal danger to others.

..... cost of $100, so I think it's worth the price.  .

It would be if school districts actually permitted or encouraged the School Marshal program or Guardian Plan. Fact is.........they don't. In short, you may never earn your $100 back.

School boards see employees with guns as a financial liability they don't want any part of. A pathetically small number of districts in Texas (less than ten by my last count) permit employees to be armed on school premises. In Plano, one of the attorneys the district uses said PISD would never take part in the School Marshal or Guardian Plan.

I'd never teach this class to a teacher from Harris or a surrounding county.
