but it's less effective. Most people would expect the SS to be protecting the girls. They protected Bush's two daughters, right?

The back story is that the SS is very protective of who gets to carry a gun around a person/area they are protecting. They generally don't allow any is my understanding. So even if the school used to have armed guards, which is believable, when the Presidential children started attending, the SS would take over, and they make the rules.
