[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid has a club or sport that starts before the doors open at 730 - how does this work now?

Dd did FCA last year and the meetings were at 715. DS was in the Weight room at 630am for XC .

Are all early morning extra curriculars not possible anymore?[/quote]

They have to leave the school building to go back through the metal detectors according to my kid.

For example, a kid has morning practice at the school, and is inside the gym, locker room, music room, theater, etc.

When that ends, they leave the school, get in line, and wait to go through the detector.

This is so poorly planned.[/quote]

So they have ample opportunity to stash a weapon in their locker in the locker room, then exit the building and go through the metal detector with zero issues!!???

Yep. That tracks[/quote]

So if kids go INto schools before 7:40 for sports practice, they do NOT go through weapons detector and when practice ends they are to leave school and then go thru line?

For HS with trailers, do the kids have to go through weapons detectors on their way back in?

For HS that allow lunch outside in courtyards that are outside school, do kids have to go through detectors again?

If goes to 1 academy school in morning, when go back to their other HS later that day, do they go through detector when arrive?

If student leaves for appointment during day do they do detector again when return?

If not constantly having kids go through the detectors, isn’t that a big gap in security?

Not sure any level of weapon detection would really deter a kid who was carefully planning something out.

In theory this should keep someone from grabbing something in a moment of hot headedness and using it in another moment of hot headedness, hopefully. But will it?[/quote]

A one-time AM screen doesn’t help if kids coming in before and after without screening. And what’s to keep kid from just having a weapon in binder if those are just placed outside screener but not actually subject to any secondary screening. [/quote]
