PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — Superintendent Mike Burke said Wednesday metal detectors are coming to all Palm Beach County high schools.
The School District of Palm Beach County started the school year by launching a pilot program with metal detectors at four district high schools, with each campus having three machines.
In all, there are 24 public high schools in the county, not including charter schools.
"We've learned the devices are working very well," Burke said. "It is a deterrent to bringing anything on campus that shouldn't be there. The feedback from our principals has been great, and also our students."
