Weeks after a North Penn School District school safety forum — and in the wake of the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut — North Penn School District’s Safe Schools Committee proposed $150,000 in security upgrades Thursday night, according to Jennifer Lawson of The Reporter.
Proposed upgrades include more cameras, portable radios and card swipe and buzzer systems, according to Lawson.
There is no plan for armed guards or school police officers, Lawson wrote.
Costs for the upgrades would come from the capital budget, according to the article. Research and input from law enforcement, administrators and parents is necessary before upgrades are implemented, Lawson wrote.

Never saw a camera yet that can stop an armed man. One armed gaurd can do more to promote safe schools than all the cameras in the world.
