My son graduated from a high school three years ago. When you drove up - -in the morning the gates to the student parking and the gate kiosk at the front were open -- buses coming in and going, parents dropping off (4000 kid high school two if not more buildings).

Once the 'bell' rang -- the campus is shut down. Only way in is the front door of either building (technically). If you are a parent or a student, you have to drive by and tell the guard kiosk why you are there and they direct you to get your badge. To get the badge from the front office you have to show your driver's license. Students have to show their student i.d. and they have to have their student i.d. on them and visible at ALL times.

To leave -- you have to hand in your b adge at the guard gate or the students have to show I.D. If they are leaving for an appointment they had in a piece of paper that says they have been given permission to leave (with a parent or on their own). If kids have 'early out' -- they have a code on their i.d. that shows they are allowed to leave early (or come in late).

They CANNOT leave just to grab a bite to eat during school hours.

My other sons went to high schools where the students weren't suppose to leave campus either. Once at school, unless you had a 'note' you or had early leave -- you were there.

In the middle school...of course easier -- kids don't drive themselves and they cannot leave during the day.

Elementary school, blah blah blah.

Some schools are now requiring all volunteers to get background checks -- prior approval...you just can't show up an expect to be able to volunteer.

All the schools I have been involved with have had an officer on campus. The high school has at least one and has staff patrolling the grounds in a golf cart making sure kids aren't sneaking in other kids through the back doors, etc.
Didn't they add a substation there at the campus a few years back? Thought they did. The guard shack out front was added the year after my daughter graduated. Considering they are already at about 4,000 kids it makes sense. That's a sizable number of the population in one place.

Our elementary school has woods behind it. So if the kids are outside they would be target practice just like the people were in Las Vegas. Multiple would be dead or injured before they could find out where the shots were coming from and get to them.

Yeah, they could set the room up with a coffee maker and a box of donuts. Oh and WiFi so they can shop and surf the net all day.
And don't forget a flat screen TV.

They'll be more confident, knowing they will have weeks of blazing headlines after they're dead, which is what they really want.

I'm sure they'll thank you for it. One way or another.
Your imagination is wild. Think about it, do you really think you can shoot up an entire room full of people with guns before ANYONE has the chance to fire back? Do you honestly believe that for sake of argument, you can shoot everyone in the room before someone can respond, that everone will be at that briefing and no one will be outside?
