The first thing you need to do is to widen that narrow view. The goal is not to "implement a really thorough, effective security program". The true goal is to create a safe environment for the kids.Ruark wrote: ↑Thu Jan 10, 2019 10:57 am All that being said, how would you implement a really thorough, effective security program for the school in the picture below?
We talk about arming teachers and school security, but when it comes to actually implementing something, the challenge is somewhat daunting.

Simply putting out the knowledge that some of the teachers are armed will likely stop 99% of attacks before they even begin. Many mass shooters, like the Colorado theater killer, drive right past other potential shooting areas just to get to a gun free zone. How many university shootings have ever happened in a university where concealed carry was allowed? The answer is "ZERO".
IMHO, armed teachers should be required to have their pistol on their person, in deep concealment, at all times. No one, student or otherwise, should know which teachers are armed. Of course, the Principal needs to know, but other teachers do not.
It is that unknown... "Some teachers are armed, but I don't know which ones."... that will give the potential school shooter pause. "Maybe that's not such a good idea."
