This is what Duval County FL Public Schools is saying in the news media (this particular segment is from News4Jax.com) about enhanced security on the 5th anniversary of a major school shooting:
Five years after the deadly shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Duval County Public Schools on Tuesday will exercise enhanced security measures out of an abundance of caution, the district said in a message to families of students.
“Whenever such an anniversary occurs, threats and rumors of threats tend to increase,” the district said in a statement. “While we have not received any specific threats, we will always take steps to ensure the safety and security of our students and staff. Therefore, as a precaution, we will be conducting full screenings of students and their belongings as they enter our high school campuses. At middle schools, we will expand our use of random searches.”
Sounds all concerned and responsible about concern for the safety of the "our students and staff," huh?
Except that the "full screenings of students and their belongings as they enter our high school campuses" is going to be primarily conducted by teachers dragooned into "volunteering" to the do the searches:
