So far, I'd say that is an iffy proposition, at least for the victims.
I personally think a Beslan scenario is coming, and the school policy plays right into the hands of the bad guys.
OTOH, we have the right to disagree, and ultimately bear the responsibility for our decisions.

Waiting on a SWAT Team is no longer even an option. Every LEO on the beat these days that I have spent time with. Has been thru some type of Active Shooter training. It's pretty much SOP. First responder on the scene grabs his Bag of extra Mags and moves to the sound of the Shooting.
Of course we will never be able to protect everyone everywhere when it comes to Active/Suicide Shooters. The biggest deterrent we have is the Armed Citizen. Lets hope new Laws are not enacted to where the Armed Citizen is no longer what these Cowards fear the most.
