All anyone needs to do is look at the Federal Air Marshal and Federal Flight Deck Officer programs. The size and scope of these programs is minuscule in comparison to what they'd like to do for schools. The FFDO program continues to have funding cut, participation levels continue to shrink. The FAM program can't get anyone who actually wants to do the job. We're 17 years after 9/11, you could argue that it's been successful, but you could also argue that it's been a massive waste of money. Just depends on how you want to look at the data. Neither has been the sole deterrent for any kind of action, planned or executed, in the sky.

Where are they supposed to get the money for what they think they want? Where are they going to find enough school psychologists to provide the kind of mental support throughout the schools to attack the 'mental health' side of the equation?

They aren't. Anything they actually end up doing, either one way or the other, will be some half assed, underfunded, under participated program that's ultimately there to make you feel like they're at least doing something.
