[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Metal detectors are better than nothing.[/b] I suspect those opposed don't have kids in MCPS.  Our HS has been evacuated for multiple threats several times this year.  This gives a sense of fear and kids question their safety.  Why do we need to wait for an incident to get tighter with security?  We've already had multiple incidents that put our kids and the staff at risk.  When is enough enough?[/quote]

No, metal detectors are worse than nothing.[/quote]

No, they aren't.  Stop making up stuff.  MCPS needs more security guards, police in the school and the latest equipment to protect our kids and staff.[/quote]

But metal detectors don't "protect our kids and staff". And every dollar spent on metal detectors, which would be a lot of dollars, would be a dollar not spent on something that's actually effective for safety and/or education.[/quote]

What are the things that are effective for safety that will provide near-term results? Don't say mental health or wraparound services. Those are long-term things that may or may not pay off in a reduction of incidents over the long haul.[/quote]
