Maybe they will all just shut off the detectors and they can just stay as decoration.

Yesterday my kid also was told to hold her laptop above her head. not sure which school as she does go to an academy class.

She also set off the detector at the academy school on day 2. They told her to go to another kind of separate scanner and she just went to class. Nobody stopped her. When she went back to base school she didn't set it off with the same stuff, so who knows.

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?


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.


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


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?



This right here. These questions are likely why some schools have them but have not started using them. What a waste of money. Now I understand why my kid’s school isn’t t using them yet. You answered my question.

You'd think a major change like this would be discussed and voted on by the School Board.

But no, they are asleep at the wheel.


SB just rubber stamps whatever dumb idea Reid has.

Reid is a complete waste.

No we gave them a month last year to pilot-it didn't get better.

No. Because they did a pilot last year and the issues never got better and no one put any thought into making them being better. There is no benefit of the doubt when you are willfully lazy.

x1000000 and our kids always pay the price for their stupidity (gatehouse's)

Are those detectors really weapon detectors or just metal detectors?

I’d be sending gift baskets weekly to whoever in charge of making schedules and asking to never have a first period free then!


If you don't have this duty then it's bathroom duty, cafeteria duty, etc. later in the day. There are no good options and the extra duties this year are really taking a toll on staff morale.


It seems like teachers are tasked with everything but the time to plan and teach....sad for them and students.


I wonder how first period teachers feel about multiple students being late every day.


its not really multiple, its more like over half the class is coming in midway or towards the end of the class

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

My DW teaches in a MS and she says the same thing about the duties this year.
