Show Notes

Pinellas County Schools in Florida introduces a new pilot program for weapons detection technology, starting April 7th at Palm Harbor University High and Gibbs High. The district is testing Evolv and Opengate systems, already in use in nearby districts, to enhance safety without creating a fortress-like environment. The setup involves scanners at key entrances for morning drop-offs and events, with a focus on maintaining a welcoming atmosphere. The trial will run through the end of the school year, with feedback gathered to determine the technologys suitability for wider implementation.
