DENVER — Denver Public Schools parents and students got the chance to publicly weigh in on the district's safety plan draft for the first time Monday during public comment at the Board of Education meeting.
The new drafted plan stresses the importance of collaboration, and includes input from both experts, students, employees and community members. The plan also acknowledges how weapon detection technology could prevent firearms from ever unknowingly entering a school. It points to Baltimore Public Schools, sports arenas, courts and airports, where"low profile entry-based weapons detection systems" are set up. Staff personnel will need to manage the systems during peak times, the document reads. Like SROs, this would also be a site-based decision.
