[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LA used wanding not walk thru devices such as are used in public buildings. The latter is less influenced by operator error. LA switched to pushing students to snitch more, it was a student report at BCC. That piece is working at BCC, or, at least it worked yesterday. [/quote]

How do you systemically and consistently scale “snitching,” as you call it, as a response to the volume of concerning safety incidents we’re seeing in schools?[/quote]

NP but student reports are probably the most important piece of this.  Students have to feel lke this impact their community and that they have a safe/confidential way to report.  The SROs used to be part of this system—that was the goal at least, to have familiar friendly faces that a kid could go to confidentially, and their identify can be protected under usual police procedures.

The metal detectors are very resource intensive, with maintenance, training of operators, etc., and they still don’t catch all the weapons.  If we can’t afford cheapo security guards to stand outside the bathrooms, I can’t see this being a viable option for all high schools.  [/quote]
