One of the other things I'd love to see schools doing is first aid training and high quality gun shot first aid kits present in every room. These are very easy and affordable steps they could take that would most likely save lives in the aftermath of one of these things.
I don't know what the right age is...maybe 4th or 5th graders and above. But at the start of EVERY school year they could put on a first aid trauma class as part of the biology module or something. Staff should already be trained but it would be a great refresher for them to go through as well at the start of every school year. And with the repetitiveness of it every year, the kids would probably be very good at it after a few years and by the time they got into high school. They could probably be taught the basics in a four hour course, give or take.
