[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn’t matter if metal detectors make it slower to get into a school building. It’s required for safety and the risk is too high. I don’t want my kid dying or being traumatized with a weapon because parents complain it might take  a little bit longer to get in schools and people think metal detectors are inconvenient. Also kids get to school in plenty of time before the first bell. They have time.  Kids are getting seriously injured and traumatized and more. This is unacceptable. FCPS needs to do prioritize for safety so kids don’t die, or other grave consequences.

All their talk about safety is a bunch of crap. They are doing nothing.

It’s not just about taking longer to get in the building.  If most of the staff is manning the weapons detectors, there are less staff monitoring the rest of the building.  
See what happened at a Prince William county school last school year.

They need more security personnel. They could operate the security equipment and also secure the school during the day. FCPS needs to prioritize safety, or they’re legally liable for lives lost and damages done.[/quote]

What should they cut from the budget to hire the additional security?[/quote]

So many things could be cut. I’d rather my child be safe, alive, not exposed to violence and crime, and not be traumatized than have 25+ electives choices  (especially in middle school) like guitar 3D art; language immersion programs; late busses; IB programs, excess AP classes; field trips. Kids can’t learn if they’re not safe or on drugs/vape or if they’re dead or traumatized from violence and adults not keeping them safe.[/quote]

Run for school board on that platform!    [/quote]
