It would be poor taste to turn it into a paintball arena though huh? {Ducking}

According to Wikipedia, after the the 1999 shootings the Columbine High School tore down the library (where more than half of the deaths occurred) and built a new, larger library. The space where the old library had been was turned into a memorial atrium. Something similar would likely work here. Turn the space where the two or three classrooms where the shootings actually took place into, say, an indoor playground for the children to use in bad weather, and build a couple new rooms on the school for replacement classrooms.

...research has suggested there may be a link between how much attention an incident gets in the media and how many copycat threats follow.

Thanks, Captain Obvious.

Even if you re-do the parts where the shootings happened, they'll associate the school with the tragic events. They aren't high school kids, so the ability to process it and view it in a different way isn't so easy. Some, if not many, will find it a scary place to be.

I agree entirely. Were all the victims 6th graders? If so, they could have all 6th graders finish the year in the temporary school they'll be going to, and then they'll be off to middle school next school year. Just a thought.

All of the victims were kindergarteners....

6 years old could be seen as 6th grade if you aren't looking closely.
