In 2013, the Texas Legislature passed two separate methods to allow educators and/or school district employees to carry handguns on campus. The options were called the "School Marshal Plan" and the "School Safety Training (Guardian Plan)"

​

They both have different intentions.  

 

The School Marshal Plan was intended to give educators/employees armed law enforcement capabilities and responsibilities. 

​

The School Safety Training, otherwise known as the Guardian Plan was intended to solely to provide hand picked armed educators/employees the ability to defend themselves and students in the event of an Active Shooter or "Active Killer"
