It's a public school so payout will come from the taxpayers and not the budget for school. And the issue is not that they couldn't prevent it, she reported the aggresive behaviour earlier in the day before being shot, but was ignored.

For this specific case, yes to the first question, no to the second question.

Admin refusing to do anything about a kid with a gun after being told a kid has a gun isn't a funding problem.

If I remember correctly about this incident, it wasn't only that the school was warned about the child's behavior from previous incidents and from earlier that day and it had been ignored, as you have already received a comment about, but I believe the mother also called the school to tell them her gun was missing and she believed the child had it and they didn't do a thorough enough search for it - I believe they only looked in his backpack and not in his desk or jacket, etc.
