Santa Clarita Ca Schools Security

Trustees of the Castaic Union School District have tentatively agreed to use a metal detector to conduct random searches of students attending Castaic Middle School--the same method used at Los Angeles city schools to check for weapons. "The random searches send a message to students that if you are carrying something, you can be caught at any time," said board member Gloria Mercado, who uses a metal detector in her job as vice principal of Eagle Rock High School in Los Angeles.

Two Santa Clarita Valley school districts, in attempts to prevent becoming more like "places south of us" and in response to security breaches at their suburban campuses, this week will consider purchasing metal detectors and installing electronic security systems. The Saugus Union School District today will discuss soliciting electronic security systems for its elementary schools. Last month, two of the districts' 10 elementary schools were struck by vandals who caused about $11,300 in damages.
