Read on to find out ...
The Baltimore school system has released the list of 40 schools scheduled to have walk-through metal detectors installed this month. These are all schools where the principals requested metal detectors, supposedly after gathering community input. The list is subject to change if more principals decide they want metal detectors or if principals who have requested the devices change their minds.
Employees from the 40 schools are scheduled to undergo training in a few weeks, at which point installation will begin (starting, I'm told, with the Walbrook campus, which is top priority). In the weeks and months ahead, I'll be interested to hear from those of you in these schools about how the metal detectors work out.
And now for that list ...
