I might have mentioned this before, and if I did I apologize for repeating myself to you.
In 2004, a school in Beslan, Russia was attacked by extremists. Over 300 people - and 186 children - died during that siege. Before the fires had stopped smoldering, an international team of experts descended on the site to study what had happened and to figure out how to prevent it from happening again. They put together a laundry list of recommendations for schools to improve security and protect the kids.
To date, NONE of those recommendations have been enacted in American schools. In fact, American educators have actively fought to block them from being implemented. Why? Because gun control was not one of the recommendations (Russia already had that in 2004), and it required school staff to take an active role in contributing to the school security procedures.
In the end, we need to harden school perimeters. We need proper security personnel patrolling school grounds, dressed in normal plainclothes so they blend in with the staff. Extensive security surveillance systems can be installed with modern cameras that are essentially invisible to casual observations. And a rapid response security team ready to respond to threats the moment they are identified. THAT is how you save lives.
