Bullet proof glass in a receiving atrium for all visitors as well. Any visitors would have to be cleared in advance of the visiting day and go through the same screening process as the students in addition to submitting a reason for the visit and be approved and escorted. If a visitor / intruder poses a threat, then that threat could be isolated by means of remote locking doors, contained and if necessary, neutralized within the bulletproof atrium.
None of these provisions will keep the average person on the street safe and aren't meant to but would go a long way toward keeping our children in school safe from armed threats. These may well seem like extreme measures and I certainly would have thought so in High School when I attended. Then again, I never would have thought the carnage we have seen lately would have been possible either.

Maybe just one think to consider: Do you want that schools and public areas become high security areas, a kind of prison? Maybe such things are needed in the short term but don't you think in the longterm the root of the issue has to be solved?
And maybe society should consider more what the young people want to change....by accident I've seen this interview this morning
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/transcr...n-feb-18-2018/ and I am much impressed by the maturity of those affected by this tragedy...
