School Security to be Reviewed Again in Warren
Security practices already were reviewed following Newtown, Conn., shooting last December, superintendent says.
Warren Township Schools will again review the security practices, policies and individual buildings of township schools as school starts this September, Superintendent Tami Crader told the Board of Education on Tuesday.
Crader said she intends to meet with Warren Police Chief Russell Leffert next Monday, the same day school opens, to review security audits in the K-8 school district.
Following the meeting, Crader said the school district already had tightened security in its buildings after last December's mass shooting of young elementary school students and some staff in Newtown, Conn.
But she said that the district did research on an outside company to come in before deciding to go with a Somerset County task force designed to look at the issue.
Crader said she doesn't know now how that task force will participate in the review of Warren Township schools' security.
She said that she will develop a plan with the chief, and will report back to the board.
