[quote=Anonymous]My kid's HS (public) is pretty secure.  This is in Loudoun Co.

None of the doors are unlocked.  You have to ring the buzzer at the main entrance and show your ID on the little camera to be buzzed in.  You're then supposed to walk directly in the doors and across the foyer area to the main office.  The main office is 100% glass, so they can see everything.  Many times once you're buzzed in, one of the front desk attendants will open the office door and wait for you, as in watching you come in and making sure you don't just come in and start to wander.  I've been there a few times where I've flashed my ID to get in and then seen them so busy in the office that no one was watching the cameras or holding the door open to watch/greet me, so I could have easily started wandering around.  That's definitely worrisome and I wish the school's had a budget for a person whose job it was to specifically just watch the cameras and buzz people in instead of just random office personnel or a teacher who happens to be in the office at that time.

All of the side doors are locked and can't be accessed from the outside without someone on the inside opening the door.  Even the gym doors are secured and the PE teacher has to unlock them before they can get back inside from outdoor PE.
