[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we should all write the Board and Superintendent about this. It's a huge waste of money and time. Not to mention the people staffing it have so much other work that I'm sure they could be doing.[/quote]

The issue is that FCPS is implementing this so terribly. They need security guards, consistency, make everyone go thru weapons detectors any time you enter the building. [/quote]+1. The kids go outside for recess and P.E. And they return to the building with  no checks. [/quote]

It's odd for sites where high volumes of students go outside for non PE classes or never enter the building initially - trailers and modulars.  Some urban, suburban school sites have perimeter fences and gates.  No strolling through the site.  https://www.vcstar.com/picture-gallery/news/education/schoolwatch/2018/03/16/heres-one-way-ventura-county-schools-are-staying-safe/32814039/

FCPS did go maximum security on outdoors back in 2002 - football games at Fort Belvoir, trailer classes into the bricks and mortar. [/quote]
