Students Weigh In on School Safety | Durham News
Description
Students in Wake County are sounding the alarm—not for panic, but for progress. A recent survey reveals most feel safe, but they’re pushing for smarter, more consistent safety measures: more staff in hallways, locked outside doors, and better bathroom security. With a tragic stabbing last year and students already reporting weapons, their input is being taken seriously. The district is weighing costly but potentially effective tools like weapons detectors—already used by other NC schools—and reviewing school resource officer roles. All this is headed to the safety committee, where student voices, alongside legal constraints, will shape the future of campus security.
