5) Since the police can not arrive to offer protection and assistance in a reasonable time frame, the school is left to it's own resources to provide security and protection.
The following is based on my assumptions
1) This is a very small town, with roughly 100 students in the school. Therefore, it can be assumed the local police force is small. It can also be assumed that there is no off duty police officer available to work a second job as a security guard at the school.
2) If the local police force is small, I assume they don't have the extra bodies to spare by putting onsite cops at the school.

The third assumption, which went unstated, is that an attack on the school in question is likely enough so as to warrant preemptive measures, correct?
