Assuming these are for normal schools and not for incarcerated juvenile facilities, I doubt they will carried around by anyone. They will most likely be kept locked up and used only in the worst case scenarios.

After reading the solicitation, I have to wonder why they specify 14" barrel weapons are quite a bit more expensive than "legal" length shotguns since they fall under Class III firearms regulations. Also, these weapons are to have speed load stocks, meaning that the 14" barrel length has nothing to do with concealability since these are full-length stocks. Hmmm...
