More people are murdered with bats and other blunt objects than with rifles of all type, to say nothing about what the left likes to call assault rifles. Given that-what background checks are the teachers getting before being armed with these deadly weapons? Do they have training and a CW permit? More importantly, how will they be locked up and secured when not being used to defend students? Is there a budget for security systems in each room?

Exactly-to say nothing about someone actually using a bat to confront someone with a deadly weapon. I wonder what kind of insurance they were able to purchase.
Did they get a better deal on the "small" baseball bat vs the regular size ones?
Or was it based on some type of algorhythim of height/weight of employees?
And as a liability factor--when an employer provides a method of "defense" to employees is that employer also incurring massive liability if that method is used and the employee is killed?
I mean most convenience stores have strict policies about not engaging anyone trying to rob the store-
They fire the employee who might try to thwart or physically apprehend any robber--armed or not..
Is there any documentation from the district's attorney re this policy???
This is laughable and seems to be a waste of money. Unless the teachers can use the bats on the bullies and thugs that attack teachers and other students, then I guess its a win.
Bring a tiny bat to a knife fight.... Wait that ain't how it goes.
Bring a tiny bat to a gun fight.... Still don't sound right
A teacher hears commotion in a hallway, grabs their bat and goes to investigate, is confronted with a crazy person pointing a gun at them. So, it's bat vs gun. Do we really have to guess who wins that confrontation?

Don't tell that to the kids on the softball & baseball teams. Schools don't supply the bats here. They go to school with the kids daily.
