Loudoun Public Schools - New Security Measures
Intercom Systems will be installed in all Loudoun County Public Schools. Telephone and Camera devices will also be installed. See news report. I think it is a step in the right direction, what do you think?

This is nice...but is it necessary? As a Loudoun County educator, I feel this is not the best use of funds. Statistically, schools are much safer than many other public locations. In addition to this, the vast majority of all school violence occurs from students who attend that school. There is rarely cases of an outsider entering and causing violence.
Again, as an educator, I would MUCH rather see the funds being used for advances in technology (most notably an LCD projector) in classrooms. Interesting the funds have not been allocated for this, even though the promise has been there for years. But because of recent events (caused by a student of VA Tech) we must spend enormous amounts of funding that will not meet the objective.
