The Rock Hill school district has started on-campus weapons screenings after several guns were found in high schools, said Superintendent Bill Cook in a published report.
The random screenings, put in place last week, can include asking students to go through their book bags, metal detector wands and other efforts.
Dr. Cook said the decision to implement random weapons screenings came after talking with district and school administration, including the principals.
The district is also relaunching its “See Something / Do Something” campaign, Cook said. He said the district is promoting the effort in schools and encouraging anyone to share information on potential threats.
In November, Rock Hill schools plan to host a district safety and security summit with law enforcement, families and members of the community.
