REGARDING:
“All well and good, but what is to stop a person with a gun entering one of the doors? How have these schools been hardened with wireless locks on all doors, and bullet proof glass in all entry doors.”

Nothing can be assured of stopping them.

By law you can’t use doors which would trap children in a burning public building. That is more likely than a shooting. A would be shooter just has to knock on any door with a kid inside willing to let him in.

A perfectly secure building is impossible.

With reference to expectations for students…Stay calm and alert. Alert maybe. After 39 years in our public school system, even a fire drill is just short of bedlam in many cases where a few will seek to disrupt the event. Calm is in the back of their minds!

For parents: Be a parent and relate to your child/children the importance of this and the life that may be saved in the event such would happen…could be the difference in life or death. Always be aware of your surroundings…every place you go.

There can never be too much planning to attempt to prevent a disaster causing injury or death at a school or anywhere.

God be with us!

Well said Grand Locust! Let’s keep on asking that question until our schools are hardened. Demand more of that Lottery money for students.

All well and good, but what is to stop a person with a gun entering one of the doors? How have these schools been hardened with wireless locks on all doors, and bullet proof glass in all entry doors. Why do we let bad guys into the school envelope to do metal detection and determine who a guest is? This should be done at a security station with intercoms and metal detectors at least 100 feet from the front door of a school. An elevated security does not mean a thing if a building has not been hardened to stop an unwanted person from just walking in any door. Armed resource Leo have been at most school shootings, but once a bad guy pierces non existent perimeters it puts the students and Leo in danger when responding. Keep the bad guys out, and show parents that the District has a plan for the same. Parents and students should have a safe zone where people are screened before entering the secure school envelope.
