Legislative funds over $1.1 million will be used towards putting metal detectors and hired guards in four Salt Lake City high schools this year.
The universal goal to keep students and staff safe echoed throughout the Salt Lake City School District board meeting Tuesday night. But whether metal detectors are a solution against gun violence in schools split the room.
“I’m thinking about the minority kids who came from refugee world, from places of war and then they have to walk through this. And then if it beeps, it’s a nightmare,” said board member Mohamed Baayd.“We had parents pleading with us to have these detectors, to have these staffing for such security measures as well," said board vice president Bryce Williams,"and these are parents in my precinct that come from a variety of different backgrounds and lived experiences.
The metal detectors will be be placed in four high schools, including Highland High School where three students were arrested in June for bringing loaded guns onto campus. Nancy Halden, communications director of the Gun Prevention Center of Utah says research from the Rand Corporation and Violence Prevention Project shows the measures may do the opposite of what they intend.
