Ok, to lessen the training cost, lets just limit the volunteers to retired police or military. There should be enough of them around in a sizable community.
I see this as strictly up to the school staff and parents, as to if and to how far they want to go with this.

I don't think the volunteer idea would fly due to liability issues, and more to the point is it really realistic to think that 500,000 or so volunteers can be found to patrol the schools forever, right now everyone is outraged but in a few months time when the outrage is gone there is no way to sustain that type of effort.
