That's not what I'm suggesting. Basically, locking the doors to each of the buildings, and putting in a buzzin system, like many schools already have.

Yes, we can rebuild all schools to essentially be fortresses.
In Santiago (and perhaps most Latin American cities), it is easier because most of the schools are built around an inner courtyard, with the outer wall of the school serving as a barrier to accessing the property. Gotta love those Morrish influences.
Robb Elementary in Uvalde seems to be a series of long buildings placed in rows inside a fenced off area.
To attain the same level of protection as one of the schools that @wat0n or I attended, you would need to build a more or less unclimbable wall around an area the size of a large city block. Is it doable? Yes. Is it really expensive? Yes. If they get a good deal, about 100$ a linear foot of masonry wall with smooth veneer. Let’s say a 4,000 foot perimeter. So, at least half a million dollars if you want minimal gates.
The school district has ten schools, so it would be 5 million for all ten schools.
This is approximately twice the entire school budget.
So, the scheme is laudable and would probably be effective. But without a massive funding influx, it is also unfeasible.

I can think of 11780 reasons Trump shouldn't be president ever again.
