First, the Florida school shooter was unable to shoot through the reinforced glass at Parkland High School that had been put in place as a safety measure for hurricanes. It would not seem to be a huge problem to make sure that all glass in schools facing an interior hallway was of this type. Even better if all exterior glass was as well.
The second idea is the brainchild of a teenager in Wisconsin. It's a steel bar that slides under the bottom of an interior classroom door and locks down in seconds, preventing the door from being opened even a crack. So far, no one has been able to shove the door open and because it is on the bottom of the door and made of steel, it's almost impossible to shoot out. At $95, it's an inexpensive and effective start to school security.
It's time to quit yelling and start doing something that really will protect our kids and together, these two items would go a long way toward that goal.
