This message was sent to all families and staff of Chesterfield County Public Schools on Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2024.
School safety is a top priority, and Chesterfield County Public Schools continually remains on alert. School leaders recently visited two nearby school systems to observe the weapons detection systems they use. To see how this technology might work in Chesterfield schools, we have scheduled demonstrations at two schools.
These demos will take place Dec. 10-11 at Robious Middle and Dec. 12-13 at Meadowbrook High:
Families and students at those two schools have received additional details from their principals.
The weapons detection system being demonstrated is an image scanner, not a metal detector. It is used in many sports stadiums and theme parks.
A demonstration of an additional system may be scheduled after winter break.
The demonstrations will provide information to help school leaders make decisions regarding school safety. Chesterfield County Public Schools continuously reviews and enhances school safety measures and protocols. Here’s an earlier communication about school safety that was emailed Oct. 11 to employees and families.
Respectfully,
Chesterfield County School Board
