SCPS school administrators visited Elizabethtown High School this morning to observe their Concealed Weapons Detection safety systems in action. Their staff and students answered questions and provided feedback on the positive benefits and ease of use they’ve seen from the systems.
Shelby County Public Schools plans to begin implementing Weapons Detection later this year as we continue to prioritize student and staff safety in every manner we can. Stay tuned as we plan to share more details on their expected implementation!
Thank you Elizabethtown Independent School District for letting us stop by!
