Summary
Pinellas County Schools pilot of advanced weapons detection systems at two high schools yielded mixed results. The tech proved reliable but staffing proved challenging, especially at larger campuses. Board members held differing views, with some advocating for more human security and others prioritizing staying ahead of rising school violence. The pilot revealed no weapons detected but caused student flow disruptions. The district now recommends using just two units for key events and continues to enhance its overall safety tech and training. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
