The simplest, most cost effective solution.
When have locks ever stopped criminals?
Has an Active Shooter ever gotten passed a properly secured door?

AMEN !I also work in education, and I understand your concern about some educators. But, unless there is a due process to specifically prohibit a school employee with a LTC from carrying on campus, that decision should be left to the individual. And the school district and local PD should partner to offer advanced training for those who choose to carry in subjects like weapon retention, de-escalation, and threat assessment. The time for prohibition is over. It's time that legislators and school boards justify why they don't want the people who are entrusted with student safety to have effective tools to do their job....
.....and maybe spend the money squandered on STAAR tests, sports stadiums, and lavish administrator salaries on things that actually matter.
The Connecticut shooter shot his way through a controlled entry point. Shot out a window next to the locked door. Although that implies that the physical security of the entry was substandard. So he got past the properly secured door by going around it.The simplest, most cost effective solution.

The question I answered was: “Has an Active Shooter ever gotten passed a properly secured door?” In that case he did so fairly easily. The door worked as planned but he had an easy work around.But did he just walk through an open door?
A locked door on your home isn't going to stop someone determined to enter. But it will slow them down.
I'd apply the same logic on the doors of a classroom. That time that is slowed down benefits responders to a threat.
Then I’m not sure why you asked the question. The door was in fact secured as intended but made no difference.So he didnt get past the secured door, he went past the unsecure window capt obvious sighs

No. You asked a question and I answered it, even pointing out that the way he got past the door didn’t defeat the door itself. If your original point was what I assumed, then you meant that every security measure helps and I am in complete agreement. But he sure got past (not passed) that door.Are you being intentionally obtuse?

Maybe I should have said “sort of”. I qualified my answer in the very first response by saying: “Although that implies that the physical security of the entry was substandard. So he got past the properly secured door by going around it.” I really don’t get why you find this so vexing. Any security measure in the chain can fail, as it clearly did in both the CT and Uvalde shootings. I’ll have to talk to our superintendent and the rest of the board at our next meeting about our newly installed secure entries. We already have a lot to talk about as regards our campus security and this is one more thing to add.Gotta respect when someone wordsmith's a simple question for sake of arguing.
+1 for you.
So let me rephrase:
Has an Active Shooter ever entered via door by defeating its security mechanisms? Not by going in window, tailgating, cloning key, going down chimney, boring up from China, entering via septic system, or teleporting in?”
