[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not a fan of metal detectors at all. I think they will be expensive and make kids late to class. I also think savvy kids who are determined to do harm can find ways around them. I thought ghost guns evade detection. This is not to say I think they’re useless. They might turn things up here and there. I just don’t think they are the big solution. I’m not sure what the answer is but we need a multi-pronged approach.  We do need to do something. I know in some districts clear backpacks are required. Maybe that could be one facet. More SROs could be another. [/quote]

It is not only about one abatement mechanism, but maybe the schools need detectors, clear bags, alarms at other doors, sensors, more trained guards (not 70year olds playing door guard), more services for students and staff. All of that = $$$. The county council NEED to be involved in discussion. Where is the BOE? Are they coming to any safety meeting? How about students and staff? They should feel comfortable to come forward to discuss without fear, but majority do NOT.[/quote]

Students and staff are speaking out at Kennedy: https://bethesdamagazine.com/2025/02/28/kennedy-high-community-mcps-school-safety/[/quote]

Isn't their Principal retiring? A former B-CC AP? Was she in charge during the lockdown at B-CC in 21-22 school year? Several APs who were at B-CC have left in last four years. Perhaps this is typical at HS level? [/quote]
