I ran the construction of a new school near Dutch Harbor AK. The design of the security features this school has, is still, way ahead of itself. The entrance to the school has metal detectors and metal pocket doors, some walk through and set off the alarm the pocket door close and locks the area trapping who ever set off the alarm, Main office secured bullet proof glass,pocket doors, the hall ways had metal pocket doors that the security could activate along with the main office . They could separate that building in so many ways. Every lock set had card readers and were on the FLS system. Entire school video monitored from a secured guard office. They performed weekly drills. This was in 1998 and the school was only for 35, children K-4. School cost to construct 12 million. It can be done very well, If we really wanted to.
