I think it’s more of how to get all the students through the one (maybe two) entrances in the morning before classes start? You would need a staggered class schedule.bbm
Agree. I Googled walk-thru metal detectors, and the cost ranges from about $1,700 -- $5,000, with the "average" price of about $2200.00. Schools have a lot of doors, but entry could be controlled, seems to me.
I agree, @MoeInVA, that it is a big school not to have a metal detector. That's a lot of students, and IMO the price is not exorbitant at all. Schools are on a tight budget, yes, but so are lawsuits. And losing a child cannot be measured.
All IMHO.
Plus who is going to work the entrance with the metal detector? Hire someone? Heck, we can’t get a bond referendum passed for anything school related. Rotate teachers? Are we going to pay them more to do this? I doubt it.
Can you imagine the kick back from some of the voters who would think installing metal detectors would infringe on their children’s freedom? You’ve seen the result on trying to mandate students wearing a simple mask during a pandemic....
