There's a setup that Rochester Inst of Technology set up for their dorms that I think could be used for public and private schools... but with some changes of my own...
Bulletproof glass facade, main entrance of 3 pairs of doors on the front, a booth in the middle of the next entrance wall, also bulletproofed; 2 pairs of doors on either sides, with metal detectors, and compact X-ray machines for the security officers to check bags through... only need 3 officers, 1 of whom could be armed and the other two aren't.. at each main entrance of a school building, so 2 sets, 6 officers, 2 armed and 4 unarmed, 4 X ray machines, 4 metal detectors, completely bullet proof security booth and entrances; emergency exits are one way opening (from inside), and fire faculty/staff that props them open... maybe alarm them like they do for fire exits in businesses?
We have a similar setup for sporting events, fairs, music festivals, airports, Capitol buildings, and certain Federal offices (IRS for example); why shouldn't schools be just as difficult to invade?
