As WSBTV shared- During a Thursday work session, incoming interim Superintendent, and current Chief of Schools, Dr. Al Taylor outlined the district’s security plans that have been in the works for months, including the installation of weapons detectors at middle and high schools.
“We’re recommending moving forward with installing these at the middle and high school levels,” said Dr. Taylor.
The district plans to install weapons detectors at three summer school sites before expanding the program. High school stadiums have already seen weapons detectors added as a new safety measure this year.
Dr. Taylor said a pilot program to implement clear backpacks turned out to be unpopular with students, so a district-wide rollout has been shelved.
On Wednesday, a student at Harbins Elementary School was found with a gun on the school bus after students reported seeing on to administrators. That student is now facing maximum disciplinary consequences, according to the school’s principal.
What steps do you think need to be taken to help ensure the safety of all students attending school?
