How is this feasible? Ok so say you fence all 20-50 acres of most high schools. You still have a bunch of gates, there's absolutely no way you have one gate. Then you have someone manning every gate?

All gates are locked from the outside and not necessarily manned.

ETA

I'm not saying it won't take particular/precise design techniques to make this work....but it could be done....it is done pretty well at my daughter's school which doesn't sit on 20 acres....but it is probably 3-5.

Most High schools are simply not designed for one entry. They may have multiple accesses for multiple athletic events, maybe a music building, cafeteria, etc.

Athletic events usually occur after school hours....if they occur during school hours then you probably need a special plan which probably means bringing in more men for those rare events. Music building, cafeteria, etc have no need to be accessed by anyone from the outside that hasn't been vetted verbally and visually by office personnel.

If someone wants to do this, its not that hard to find a way. Guns can fit in music cases pretty easily. I could fit a gun in a box of paper towels or other supplies meant for the cafeteria or custodian.

I mean most of these shootings occur by students that attend the school, they are vetted already. Have student ID's, etc.

It would be almost impossible to go through every box, bag, etc.

I often had two bags, one with baseball, soccer, or football practice stuff and a school book bag. That's a lot of crap for any officer to sort through.
