[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A non staff person could enter the building along with the staff. The point is, if they arent running those machines all day long, there is no point to them at all. Anyone can get in st any time to hide a weapon in the school.[/quote]

Tell me you don't work in a school without telling me that you don't work in a school.

Staff have to swipe their badges to get into the building, and the door unlocks for such a short time that we even struggle to get the door open before it relocks. It also SLAMS shut right behind us, which can be a problem for staff with physical disabilities. Additionally, we are not allowed to open or hold the door for anyone unless we see an FCPS badge and we direct them to the main office immediately.

I’m guessing you don’t work in a high school. The doors are open all day long as kids make their way back from their McDonalds:Starbucks run, or sprinting out for their Uber Eats etc. The high schools are very hard to monitor as students are constantly opening doors or propping them for one another.

I’m honestly feeling like the weapons detection system is almost going to be seen as a challenge by some kids. What can the brag about sneaking in?

I work in a secondary school, and the doors are definitely not open all day at our school.[/quote]
