Anything but hiring human guards maybe?
Who am I kidding, the admin gets a kick back from the vendor for showcasing their tech. Money is always the answer in 'murica
Human guards would be more effective than the drone at stopping an active shooter; but they won’t stop active shooters from being active in the first place.
For that you need to attack the actual problems.
We have direct evidence that "trained" humans don't help at all either. Uvalde.
Hammering a nail with a rock is a more effective solution than hammer a nail with a cucumber. Doesn’t mean the rock is a good solution.
And that should give you an idea of how bad drones in schools are.
