Waukegan High Principal Steve Hamlin said that an internal investigation revealed it is likely the first gun was brought into the school through an unsecured door or window.
Ok, why would there be an unsecured door?? Windows, maybe...Idk...
Hamlin said the school is currently testing magnetic doors that will prevent students from leaving the building without authorization or trying to bypass metal detectors.
If the test is successful the doors will be implemented as soon as possible.
Staff members will have magnetic key cards to open the doors, and panic buttons will automatically unlock the doors in case of a fire or other emergency.
Magnetic doors are currently being used at Waukegan High School's Brookside Campus.
Ok, now this is the most stupid thing I've ever heard!!! Why on earth do they need to test this??? By their own admission it's being used at the Brookside campus. ARE YOU FRIGGIN KIDDING ME???? So now that brings up a whole other slew of questions....1. didn't they test this before putting it in at Brookside? 2. Are our kids under false sense of security at Brookside cuz obviously they threw this in without testing it? 3. If the test comes up negative or bad, will they take these doors out of Brookside??
Newby said District 60 has been continually upgrading security measures and providing the latest cutting edge materials and information in regards to crisis management as mandated by the Illinois State Board of Education.
"We are not perfect, but we do a pretty good job when it comes to safety," Newby said.
Oh yea, the 'Big L" is a fortress compared to where the secuurity SHOULD be!! :evil: :evil: :evil:
