Safety has always been a top priority for Montgomery Public Schools, and the district promises to make improvements where necessary to mitigate potential risks.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - The deadly school shooting in Uvalde, Texas has renewed questions about school security at districts across the United States, including in Montgomery.
“Being in law enforcement for 26 years, it’s always a sad occasion to see that it’s continuing to occur,” said Cutts-Day, assistant chief of security for Montgomery Public Schools. The school system’s security team has recently met to discuss ways to enhance safety. Some of the security enhancements taking place around the district are:Increased usage of metal detectorsSafety training for teachersMPS has a long-standing partnership with law enforcement agencies and works closely with them in preparation, prevention and response efforts. MPS also has a strong collaboration with student support, mental health and behavior support departments.
The school system does, however, need support from the community. MPS encourages parents to monitor their children’s activity online and to check their bookbags.
