While schools can be made “safer”, the bottom line is that children who attend public schools are not safe and will not be safe no matter what is done. Any safety measures can be countered by an assailant with the will to do so. And it does not take much to so. Sometimes a change in tactics, sometimes a change in tools, or just a change in timing.
