The board did not engage in any public discussion about the system at the meeting and approved the funding in a single vote, along with eight other agenda items.

According to board documents, the weapons detection system will be installed at only high schools by Alliance Technology Group, which the board will pay nearly $5.46 million to install the systems and $540,000 for electrical upgrades at 26 schools. The district has around $7.8 million left over from $41 million originally assigned for construction at Armistead Gardens Elementary School, and the board voted to transfer that money to the general fund to be spent on the weapons detection system, according to board documents.

Rogers��� first budget request as superintendent comes as Maryland prepares for a slowing economy and federal coronavirus pandemic funding is set to expire this year. Mandated changes required by the Blueprint for Maryland���s Future, the state���s landmark education reform plan, remain, while the district will receive a smaller percentage of state funding for the programs.

���This budget has been challenging,��� Rogers said Monday during an hourlong presentation in the auditorium of George Washington Carver Center for Art and Technology. County Executive Johnny Olszewski Jr., state legislators and members of the county Board of Education were in attendance.
