From a purely practical standpoint most of the ideas by belshawelk would probably do the trick. I'd say retinal scans/facial recognition upon entry, non-lethal deterrents perhaps delivered remotely if the metal detector goes off, lethally armed guards at the final entries into the school, classroom doors that lock remotely from the inside and outside and doors to outside the building in every classroom. That's not really addressing the cause though.
It is also not fiscally plausible for schools that can't afford pencils. Small town schools, rural schools are even worse off yet. We cant afford that sort of security at airports which are quite flush with bucks.
someone posted that there are 36,000 high schools alone. Then add middle schools and junior highs and grade schools. Might as well throw in college and universities too. Building walls and fences around them, gating and stocking with all this high-end security just isn't feasible.
