"So then the issue would be with Secret Service protocol "
If I was a parent of one of those kids who all had targets on them for 30 minutes thanks to the President taking refuge in a school, I'd be pi$$ed.
Not the point or the question. It has been offered in this thread that the Secret Service had Bush stay in the school because it was a place they thought they could control (given the fact that NOBODY knew the extent of what was happening in the seconds after the second plane hit) the facility. You said that "he" should have left and not "hidden" behind the kids. Apparently, if the Secret Service story is true, it wasn't his call. So your problem is with the Secret Service then...right?
