Salt Lake Tribune education coverage for Salt Lake City and the surrounding area.
Lawmakers expressed concerns about the company apparently “leveraging” the planned contract for more money.
But last month, the board voted to postpone approving the AEGIX contract, citing general concerns over the accuracy of the company’s software and its ability to detect concealed weapons. Any districts that applied for such a use would be allowed to amend their plans and resubmit, the board noted, since the letter was dated on the day of the application deadline.
AEGIX CEO Chet Linton confirmed in a statement that some districts had submitted grants for firearm-detection software, “rather than wait on the specific funding for ZeroEyes” intended under HB61.
