I don't expect a heads up every time, but the first time? Yes. Give us a chance to know if you're going to damage a 10K medical device.[/quote]
Exemptions are supposed to be made if you coordinate with the principal or school nurse.  https://www.fcps.edu/weapons-detection-pilot-frequently-asked-questions-faqs[/quote]

How can I coordinate when they tell us after the kids have been screened?[/quote]

When the plan for weapons detectors was announced, there should have been communication to families to identify if their kid would need an alternative.  It sounds like the school failed to do that, or at least didn't do it well.  The time to start that process wouldn't have been the day of the surprise screening.  It would have been when they announced the screening program.

Parents of middle school and high school aged kids should also be working with them to figure out a plan for what they should do when they encounter a weapons detector.  Kids who go places alone need to know how to handle this. [/quote]
