In the wake of the recent school shootings, there needs to be action taken to remedy this tragedy from occuring again. This proposal is to have a trained police officer in every school in America. Creating "School resource officer" not only protects our children but creates new jobs. This grant would supply every department funding to create an extra paid position per school in America. To obtain this grant all departments will be required to staff an officer in school during school hours (NO EXCEPTIONS)
There are roughly 100,000 public school in America. (as of 2010)

The average starting salary of an entry-level Officer is $40,500 (2007)

This amounts to 4.05 Billion or $13 per US citizen
