There is not much that can be done.
99% of schools are totally insecure. If you go to school. Imagine you have a handgun and you are crazy. What stops you from taking the gun into school in your backpack?
For nearly all of you who go to a school the answer is probably absolutely nothing. Nobody would know about a gun in a backpack.
In terms of elementary school with younger children the best thing to do is lock the doors so that people cannot just walk in.
In a high school the threat is different. The main threat is a student with a gun.
In a high school environment there is just no way that every student can be screened airport-style before entering the building.
The only thing I can think of that would really help middle and high schools from student shooters is more preventative measures to identify threats before they are truly credible.

[/quote] While this is true in some cases, there is still stuff that can be done. Look at Columbine, or Sandy Hook. Both times, and in others, the shooters did not just bring guns in their backback. They came after school had started, entered the school by force, and began shooting. While yes, many just bring guns in their backpack, there is still things you can do to stop cases like above from happening.

Hence my suggestion for the glass cover. [quote]In a high school the threat is different. The main threat is a student with a gun.

It's not like a troubled High School kid is going to just admit to their problems. While it does happen, it's not common.
