[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]

I would much rather have SROs and more security guards instead of metal detectors.  The SROs were very successful in pushing crime out of schools.  If you were gojng to have a fight, you’d plan it for someplace off campus instead of the bathroom at school.  Same for drug use and drug dealing.  It would be great if we could get it so kids didn’t fight, do drigs or deal….but at a minimum there’s a benefit in pushing it out of the schools so that kids who aren’t into that scene can study and use the bathroom in relative peace, and the teachers don’t have to deal with it.

I would rather have all three - detectors, SRO's and security guards.[/quote]
