The Washington-Nile School District held a school shooting exercise this week in West Portsmouth, Ohio.  Their solution: lock all the doors so the shooter is trapped with the students and then watch the security cameras.

Yup, that's about it. I guess this is just a stall tactic:  give the shooter so many targets of opportunity that he will be confused until the Sheriff's department arrives.  Of course in a County that has an understaffed and undertrained Sheriff's department and an average response time of 40 minutes, I guess there is nothing left to do.

The sad part is that TDI is only about 20 minutes away from this school and they have the leading active shooter scenario training in the nation.  Their program is designed for a single cop to engage where most standard policies in place call for a group of 5 or 6 cops to deploy to cover each other. With a county that might have 2-3 deputies on duty, by the time they round up 3 more, the shooter could be in Kentucky. That is unless he gets distracted with targets of opportunity with the Washington-Nile Fish in A Barrel Plan.
