Not sure about 5, or having them all in 1 safe… but something planning is better than nothing.

Grumpy ole Guy, would you like to know the stats on how many threats Columbine received in the 10 years prior to April 20th, 1999?

Consider how many false bomb threats come into schools to get a day off (esp in the old days)… but a real threat is not going to send you a notice.

It’s a good idea to not wait until after the 100 year flood to get flood insurance. Of course, some people don’t buy flood insurance and simply expect someone else to bail them out when it happens.

Are the paranoiacs really in charge, or, is there a rational explanation for the costs (I assume at the expense of education) involved?

The correct answer is to install Department of Homeland Security Gestapo Agents in the school, armed with MRAP’s, machine guns, tear gas grenades, metal detectors, facial recognition cameras, and listening devices in all rooms. A “Dear Leader” poster should also be visible from any viewpoint on campus.
