“Literally none of that. We technically have a “closed campus”, but so many kids walk three blocks to the mall to get food during lunch or a free period. “
I’m pretty sure this is every high school in the US
We need passes, we have a resource officer, that’s about it.
I graduated a few years ago, but we needed keycards to get into the building. Getting out was supposed to be hard, because you were supposed to swipe your card to leave as well, but I once walked straight out the front doors without anyone noticing. Inside, though, there were tons of open spaces and glass windows looking into classrooms. Nothing would have saved any of us from an active shooter, because they could just look inside and see if a classroom was empty.
My high school required ID cards on lanyards and you got detention if you were caught without yours around your neck (even if it was in your pocket). Despite this dedication, they just straight up refused my request to update my picture because for some reason they only took new ID pictures a week before the school year started and my parents wouldn’t bother taking me. So by senior year at I was walking around with an ID of 14 year old me that looked absolutely nothing like current me, and teachers who didn’t know me regularly openly doubted that it was actually my ID and accused me of stealing it from someone else
I graduated 4 years ago. You had to be buzzed in to the building. No ID, no hall passes, no excessive or overlooked security.
We have a security office in the main entrance and all other entrances are locked from the outside. We don’t need our student IDs basically ever. We’re supposed to have a hall pass but no one uses it and they don’t enforce against it
Thanks for all the replies it’s been awhile since I was in high school and I was curious as to how campus security had changed.
We need passes, there’s always at least 2 cops, there’s a police station in the basement, we have occasional bag checks, the school was literally built around prison blueprints.
