The Culver Community Schools Corporation is the latest to consider a policy on the use of handheld metal detectors.
Superintendent Karen Shuman says the school corporation has received three metal detectors, as part of the state’s program to provide them free of charge to Indiana’s schools. “And with those, we created a policy that we would only under reasonable suspicion conduct an administrative search using the metal detectors,” she explains. “So it’s just another way of principals being able to conduct searches, if necessary.”
The proposed policy was presented to the school board on first reading Monday. It will be up for final approval on October 15.
