MESA, AZ — It’s something many have walked through - a weapons detector. You walk through them at a concert, or a sporting event, and now more Arizona schools are starting to use them.
The district started the pilot at Skyline High but plans to roll it out to other high schools by graduation date and to be used during graduation. Eventually, they’ll bring it to junior highs and even look at using them at elementary schools, Moore said. While Skyline has not had any instances of guns on campuses recently, according to Moore, the district has had situations where guns were on a school campus in the past.
An AFUHSD spokesperson told ABC15 they have found knives from the weapons detectors but they have not detected a firearm with it. The Casa Grande Union High School District governing board recently gave approval to purchase weapons detectors, too. The district has had a few instances in the past few years of students bringing guns onto campus.
