Discuss security measures used by schools. Do you think these efforts are adequate or should schools increase their security measures? Explain
What will be an ideal response?
• Access control. Most schools control access to school buildings by locking or monitoring doors. About one-third of schools control access to school grounds with locked or monitored gates.
• Lighting. Some administrators keep buildings dark at night, believing that brightly illuminated schools give the buildings too high a profile and attract vandals who might not have bothered with the facility, or even noticed it, if the premises were not illuminated.
• Picture IDs. Many schools require faculty or staff to wear picture IDs; a few require students to wear similar identification.
• Book bags. Some schools require transparent book bags or ban book bags altogether.
• Random checks. Some schools use random metal detector checks, random dog sniffs, and random sweeps for contraband.
• Security cameras. About half of all schools use one or more security cameras to monitor the school.
• Student views will vary.
