Each day students enter a threshold of a place that meets basic needs which are not always meant on the outside, those that come a little more prepared face the dangers of the community they live in daily to get to and from school. We have metal detectors, but so many things set it off and don’t provide an accurate assessment of the situation. Security wands (superwand metal detector) offers a) a deterrent from bringing things that are dangerous b) offer an added level of security and isolate the the situation. Safety EVERYDAY is our first priority and education falls into place. We currently have wands and they are no longer functioning, students have been heard saying "anybody could bring something here" often sounding concerned. We want to remove that worry as much as possible from their lives. We Security Wands also assist in security with individuals visiting our school. Once a person walks through the metal detector, it becomes hard to pinpoint what may be causing the warning. The wand localizes this, and has often lead to identifying students or adults with weapons. Thus, preventing more escalated situations or potential dangerous situations that impact the school and our student learning and success
