Union Grove ISD, a Class 2A school district in rural Upshur County with 761 students, is only the second district in Texas to enact such a policy. The first was Harrold ISD in 2007.
“The worst thing we can do is nothing,” Union Grove school board Vice President Rusty Dyar said.

Thank God some school boards have sense! I think it's the best idea in YEARS.
Sure it won't solve the problem of troubled teens who have mental problems but until society decides institualization of insane people is needed then teachers and administrators need to be trained and armed in case they are needed.
