- Every school should have mandatory stop-the-bleed training for all employees and supplies posted throughout. Again, if requirements aren't met, inspection failed.
- Every school employee should have to complete quarterly active shooter training, with and without students, similar to fire drills. Drills should be run for each employee to time their response in barricading doors, etc. Standard response times must be met.
- A set of standards for school buildings should be created, perhaps within the building code. School buildings should not be allowed to have glass egress doors (we saw today why), etc.
- Schools should allow for trained and armed employees similar to Federal Flight Deck Officers. This may not be widely accepted in public schools but would be in private schools like this one. Public schools should however be forced to allow it if an employee is certified.
Why absolutely no standard has been created to protect from these murders is beyond me. Simply adding School resource officers is not the answer. Those guys get bored and complacent and have proven to fail regularly.
