School Security

" A mother of a student at Brockton High School lied to get into the school Wednesday and confronted a teacher while she was teaching a class, leading to her arrest, officials said. The parent walked into the main entrance of the high school about 1:30 p.m. and signed-in, saying she was going to speak with Green Housemaster Andrew Donovan, Brockton Public Schools spokeswoman Michele Bolton told The Enterprise.
Instead, the woman went to a classroom full of students and confronted a female teacher because she thought her child was being treated unfairly, officials said."

Minichello's comment "Brockton School Committee Vice Chair Thomas Minichiello, Jr., said that it’s a shame that the stupidity of this one person may lead to additional security measures being put in place at the front desk, especially when the district’s resources are already being spread thin by a budget crunch."
You have School Police and Floor teachers who get paid to walk the halls. Have them be available to walk visitors. You have Asst HM who can't even bother to cover lunch or sub for a teacher. What a freeking mess this HS Has become.,

The mother should have never made it to the classroom.
You can't fix stupid.

Only a matter of time.
If it weren't for the charter school, Brockton schools would have more money to hire a Director of security, a deputy director of security, a supervisor of security, an assistant supervisor of security, an administrative assistant to the security department and finally a janitor who can escort visitors when he's not sweeping or directing traffic.
You can't fix stupid.

One could accomplish this using our JROTC as they help with a multitude of functions, open houses etc. This would provide an additional layer without cost

.... all because of one mother's idiocy, and a school's knee-jerk reaction
sigh

The school doesn't get a pass on this. The Super again goes underground. She should be addressing this and maybe she will after the Court appearance? What did the school do correctly, what could they do better? Reassure parents and staff that security is paramount. I saw a couple of solutions that Ray H. Proposed that doesn't cost anything.

....but to now suggest using tools the police use by running CORIs, scanning fingers, etc, just because one moron of a mother managed to get pass some protocol is silly
you mean to tell me that school admin actually thought the plan they had in place was foolproof?.... give me a break.... lol
troubling the level of fear we live in

and btw, she didn't have unfettered access... she managed to wily her away around things and now the school has to answer for it
sucks being held accountable.... but yeah, let's start scanning fingers and running CORIs and putting up medal detectors and doing pat downs and removing shoes
that's the ticket!

We already process cori as this is the law for anyone who is in contact with children
That's state requirement.
Escorts provide low cost option to help add additional layer
We already employ a system that scan your ID and will reject it if there is an issue.
What we don't have is and this could be used to identify those who have any record in the system the fingerprint tech. This would allow one to identify those that could have a security issue and then an officer already there could escort the person in the building
As for fingerprinting every teacher is by law to be fingerprinted and every staff member.
We live in a world or crazies and if we employ 21st cent tech at low cost we can provide additional protection to our students and staff.
I would also like to see a feed from our CCTV etc into the Brockton PD and into cruisers so at any time one can see into the school
Its already employed at NJ schools and has worked well. Just an added tool to assist our officers and staff in a potential situation.

but you start running CORIs on parents wanting to visit with teachers over an issue said parent might have, then brockton high will be turning virtually everyone away.... and if you think you have problems now?... sit back and watch the craziness unfold
...and yeah, a feed into the brockton police station.... that's a good one, I forgot that one
anything else?....how about barbed wire and a gate at the entrances?
listen, i get the climate we live in..... but listen to yourself!.... one lady gets emotional and acts like an idiot- and mind you, it probably could have been prevented had someone at that front desk been a little more vigilant- and you propose ideas straight out of fort apache the bronx!... lol

Hell Newtown just had an incident with a teacher bringing a firearm to school. Common sense clearly is missing and sometimes we need to go a little above to make sure kids are safe but last thing I want is a prison but having a better idea of who is in your building would provide a way to have additional measures
I want to employ 21st century tech that helps our officers, our teachers, our staff so god forbid something does happen
