Richmond School Board members made several important decisions during Monday nights meeting. One of those key decisions included the installation of metal detectors at middle schools across the district.
Since March of this year, the school board has been considering the proposal to put metal detectors in city middle schools. On Monday, March 13, a juvenile student brought a gun to Boushall Middle School. Shortly after the incident, Richmond Public Schools Superintendent Jason Kamras proposed implementing metal detectors at certain schools.
According to school leaders, a survey was presented to hundreds of students and families, and dozens of teachers and staff in the district to gauge the perception of metal detectors.
