“Possibility” and “most” are risks that I am not willing to take.
As I said, if money is more important to you, then expect this to happen again.
Let the schools charge the parents for cost of increased security.
If public schools can’t afford to protect children, then don’t send children there.
It all boils down to what is more important to the parent, we are talking about their treasure after all.
What happens when you leave treasure undefended or inadequately defended?
It gets taken from you.
Then, homeschool. Or get a CCW and volunteer at your children's school, if the school district doesn't infringe upon the right to keep and bear arms.

It's not about money. I have no issue with paying for National Defense. It's about effectiveness and continued/increased infringement. If a security officer is a good idea, then surely someone will want body scanners and stip searches. Why stop at the school? Set up road blocks within 1000 yards of all schools and search vehicles. This doesn't enhance security. It narrowly defines it.

If your "treasures" were that important to you, you wouldn't send them to the statist indoctrination centers known as government schools. (Private schools are not that different). All my children have been homeschooled throughout their entire academic carrer. It is an economic burdern to have only one parent working while the other performs his or her function as primary teacher, but what is more important than one's treasures? Every teacher is able to care for his/her charges, even with lethal force, if that should be necessary. And not just at home, but on field trips as well. Some of the students are armed as well--pepper spray, tactical folding knives, and, if old enough to open carry, firearms. Our treasure is defended.
