Palm Beach County School Board to discuss updated security policy

PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — Keeping your kids safe at school is the number one priority for educators and always top of mind for parents.

Now, Palm Beach County School District leaders are revising security policies to further solidify what's expected on every campus.

With the addition of metal detectors making their way to all high school campuses in Palm Beach County, the school board next Wednesday will review additions to its School Campus and District Facility Security policy.

It outlines screening procedures for using the metal detectors, what to do if the detector goes off and how to handle what may be found. WPTV has confirmed Spanish River Community High School, Atlantic Community High School, Suncoast High School and Riviera Beach Preparatory and Achievement Academy will all roll out metal detectors next week as part of the school district's plan to have the devices on every high school campus by the end of this school year.
