Columbia Schools Reflect on Weapons Detection System

Columbia Public Schools approaches the one-year mark of its weapons detection system installation, which was aimed at improving student safety amid rising youth gun violence. The district, which spent over $260,000 on the technology, is now evaluating the system’s effectiveness and discussing additional safety measures, including public service announcements on safe firearm storage.

As discussions continue, candidates for the Columbia Board of Education reflect on the program’s mixed results. While some candidates, like Erica Dickson, support the system as a necessary investment, others, such as Ken Rice, voice concerns about its efficacy and reported loopholes. With the alarming statistic that gun violence is the leading cause of death for children ages 1-19 in the U.S., the district strives to enhance safety as it finalizes new initiatives aimed at preventing weapons access in schools.
