Will school weapon detections cause class time delay?

[Anonymous]

South county started today. Lines around the schools. 4 doors and 2000 kids. Have to take everything out of backbacks. Kids were 20 minutes late to class. Completely unsustainable and totally unnecessary.

I hear it wasn't too bad at Oakton. My kid made it thru in a few minutes.

The schools need to open the doors earlier.

You are out to lunch then. This could not have been due to metal detectors bc Chantilly has not yet started the metal detectors. So your child was just plain late.

Not the PP but I was told all FCPS high schools and middle schools started today? Is this incorrect and if so why is Chantilly not starting?

It said all will get them in the fall but doesn’t specify the day. They have not been installed or used yet at Chantilly. I was told in 3 weeks they will start. So how was a child that got dropped off at 7:35 am almost late to class when they aren’t screening yet?

there was alot of traffics in and out of the school today. Doors open 7:45 instead of 8:00 and you can only enter through 2 doors so maybe that’s the issue? I guess everyone showed up at the same time today.

The 1st day is always the worst. It’ll be better by the end of the week.

The next school board election is 2027

Our middle schools did not have them and they did not say anything to the kids about them today.

Westfield had 2 doors total for 2800 kids.
My dc said there was only one metal detector at their door.

I thought they were supposed to have installed more?

Yes, if only they taught math, it would be obvious that the numbers just won’t work.

This is such a joke.

For schools doing weapon detectors, could the bathrooms at least now be all open?

This thread is about weapons detection systems making kids tardy. The Chantilly poster wrongfully implied that Chantilly started their metal detectors yesterday am and that’s why their kid was late.
