[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand, did they fire the people who did those jobs last year (obviously, the metal detector jobs are new, and absurd).[/quote]

Exactly. These duties should’ve always been in place for student safety. It’s concerning that these duties (hall/bathroom supervision) are just now being implemented. This is why the MS/HS are rampant with fights, vaping, bullying, assaults, and more. Thankfully they are starting to address it so students can be safer at school.[/quote]

Am I the only one feel my kids is less safe under FCPS new security measure? Hundreds, sometimes over one thousand students gathering outside for long time regularly daily is not safe. The unshielded crowd could become an easy target of mass shooting. Also, how many SROs does each middle and high school have? The long lines outside also need adults to maintain the order and provide protection.[/quote]

No. I agree with what you wrote and as many have said I'm all for keeping our kids safe but this is not it. My mind is still blown that the athletes and other clubs are int he building in the morning and then asked to leave and come back through the metal detectors. I think we are all smart enough to know that this makes zero sense. As others have said kids are expected to to go to the main building through the metal detectors and then go to trailers....ummm what. Who is checking to make sure kids really are going through metal detectors. Make it make sense.[/quote]

If the purpose of this is to make the teachers feel more safe from the students, then it makes sense.  That may be why the parents and the board were not asked.  If there are thousands of kids outside who are a shooting target, then that means the teachers inside the building are not the target.

What...none of this makes sense. Are you saying that FCPS is purposefully putting students at risk? [/quote]
