Private security guards running weapon detectors will scrutinize Salt Lake City teenagers as they return to classes this fall.
“We’re being asked to put a million more dollars into an unproven model,” Anderson said.
And so for the first six months, Baayd said he’d like to see monthly updates on how many students were stopped, why they were stopped and the gender and race of the students, because “there is going to be human error involved in this as well.” Those supporters included parents “from a variety of different backgrounds and lived experiences,” he said. “I would like to err on the side of caution and ... give these detectors a shot and the staffing for it a shot for a while.”
In addition to the $1.4 million for the 4-year lease of the detectors, he said, the plan would cost about $194,000 for the three additional security coordinators. “The people who are unsupportive are worried about like, potential bias or like, how this could increase profiling in schools,” she said, “and so my question is, what kind of anti-bias training are security coordinators receiving?”
