[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The weapons detectors are a great idea with great intention, but they are clearly executed terribly in true FCPS fashion.  If only the school board and top leaders could use common sense and planning to implement very expensive policies competently.   And why do we keep voting for this school board? [/quote]

Serious question:

How could they be executed better in schools with exterior classrooms (Modular’s, trailers)? Those kids have to go in and out multiple times a day. Bathrooms, lunch, office passes.

How can you assure me the kid coming to my trailer (door opens to the outside) has gone through the detector and picked up nothing between their scan and exiting the building to come to me?

How can you confirm students aren’t stashing contraband around exterior classrooms, picking it up midday when they go outside for 5th period, and bringing it back in for their lunch block in the middle of 5th?

In a perfect world students would enter the building for the day and never leave, but that’s not reality.

As long as there are ancillary buildings, the detectors make no sense, unless every child gets a personal escort the moment they leave the building.[/quote]
