The instillation of metal detectors in New York State public schools is an important subject when considering the saftey of all staff, students, and visitors. Metal detectors don’t play a role in stopping all unsafe activity that may occur, but the presence will provide much needed value and comfort for everyone who may be concerned about the safety of public schools. Tensions continue to rise over this subject, and action must be taken now rather than later or at the extent of the federal governments’ time and leisure. A petition stating the installation of such as metal detectors may not be effective in the sense of “number of signatures” equals that to automatic requirement of installation; but the very least, can provide much needed awareness and act as the “first domino in the surrounding areas to take part in the installation program. Anyone with knowledge of school budgets, taxes used for school purposes, are strongly encouraged to make note of any important details that can make this more than just a call for awareness. Hopefully, this resonates with everyone and makes a crucial impact on the saftey of our children and members of society in which this greatly affects. Thank you.
Sincerely,
The concerned

I was reading through some of the messages people sent in and it really makes you think about how many parents are just sitting at home worrying constantly because the schools feel like a total gamble now. I have been spending way too much time staring at school budget spreadsheets trying to figure out where the money actually goes because it just does not add up to me why we talk about safety but never actually buy the equipment that stops things from getting inside. People keep telling me I am being paranoid but honestly I think just wanting a metal detector at the front door is pretty much the bare minimum at this point.

All schools should have police officers in school at all times at least 2 of them and should all have metal detours for the safty of all kids and teachers...
We need this and bullet-proof glass on our entry doors! The only entry into school after morning arrival should be through the office.
I think its a good idea went to randolph all my life alway thought it was a good school but no a days you can never be to careful
Metal detectors should be installed because of the events that have been happening at schools around us.
We need metal protectors, in am effort to try to help keep our children safe with all these school shootings.
They should have metal detectors at every school to protect the kids.
Praise the Lord !!!

We need to be able to let our children get their educations free from fear of violence and metal detectors are an important part of that equation. Let's do ALL that we can to make this community and our children safe!
