Incoming Prince George's County Public Schools Superintendent Millard House II announced the new security measures during a wide-ranging news conference Tuesday.
Weapons detectors will be installed at every Prince George’s County high school and some middle schools as part of new safety measures to reduce the rise in gun incidents reported on school campuses, the county’s new superintendent, Millard House II, said Tuesday.The detectors will be in place before the start of the school year next month. High school and middle school students will also be required to use clear backpacks.
House announced the new security initiatives as part of a session with media on a range of issues that also include student performance, bus safety and school staffing. The new security initiatives come as the school system has experienced an increase in the number of guns being brought into schools, along with other safety incidents, including fights and bullying. Two students were found with guns at Suitland High School onlast August, and several others were reported throughout the school year. This week, a 17-year-old Prince George’s student was caught with a loaded gun at Central High School on the first day of in-person summer school.
