Dear God, did they make ANY improvements they kept secret?
To any school admins reading this, announced defensive and security measures are measures that can be planned for and countered.

I guess the next attack will include explosive devices in order to blow down those doors. Operational security is a real thing and helpful.

I mean... if the entire class rose up and pelted the shooter with 25 rocks, they might actually have a chance? Somebody's bound to hit him square in the head and knock him senseless, right? I wonder if they will have drills...

If they're gonna give'em slingshots, give'em buckets of ball bearings.
20 kids with Wristrockets loaded with those would be formidable.

Its better than nothing and as mentioned add in some sling shot type items and they can absolutely do some damage.
If we are not going to do real things to change the culture (not useless feel good laws that most likely wont be enforced along with many other laws) then we need to do anything that can help the kids.

I've no idea what to even say.
A bucket of rocks...? The wristrockets idea is a good one, though. Those things pack a punch. With the right kind of projectile? Not something to be sneered at.

Potential shooter of school in that district: "Note to self...wear helmet with face shield."
This is silly, both to think that the majority of students would be ready to attack in the face of a shooter, but also that this is the superintendent's idea of 'not wanting our students toe be helpless victims.'
But I do concede that this is much better than cowering in a corner, but hell, throwing scissors would be a better idea that rocks.
