[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much is that school getting sued?

My daughters elementary school had the following controls.

One way in. Receptionist in bullet proof area with hardwired phone to call 911. She buzz you in. Then you enter bullet proof man trap. She trap you. They also had buzzer to lock all bullet proof classroom doors. Had silent alarms police. Regular active shooter drills. FBI and or local law enforcement consultations. And a cop in parking lot while school open.

While school on camera. We even could lock windows remotely.

Yeah, I don't think a low income rural - like Robb Elementary - school can afford all that. I mean, it's great that you went to a wealthy school that can afford a friggin man-trap, but vast majority of schools in our country can't do that.[/quote]

Agreed. Although my DH (who works in public health) was asking the principal in our elem school (MCPS) if they could open up some windows during Delta/Omicron. Short answer was no, and mainly because of some of the safety features in the school for a potential active shooter. Principal gave him a tour, and our public school (built in the last 10 years) had some of these features (buzz in, "man trap", ability to lock all the doors automatically). Not sure if any of it was bulletproof or anything but the glass doors and windows were some sort of special material. Obviously no cop or anything patrolling, and the fields are completely open. After that, spouse stopped trying to push the school to open windows/doors (decided most of the kids would survive covid, but not a gun). It felt like some level of protection was applied to designing the school. Obviously, that has to now be in concert with BANNING GUNS. Because the crazies with guns will still be there even with a gun ban, there will just be a tad fewer of them. [/quote]
