HARRINGTON PARK NJ, the Harrington Park is staring off the school year by installing bullet-proof doors throughout the schools district. The district has purchased more than 50 of the 150-pound steel doors at a cost of $2500 each.
The district explains that when you turn the lock of the door, 12 steel bars are engaged. This is an added feature to the thick steel construction and bullet-resistant glass.
The superintendent Dr. Adam Fried, said it is all about creating a safe environment for students.
“We’re starting to add more militarization into our schools and at the end of the day, schools are for learning. At the end of the day, they’re about math and science and laughing and, for me, I think this was my answer to create that safe room environment,” said Harrington Park Superintendent Adam Fried.
The district said the next thing they will replace is all of the outside doors.
Other school districts in the area have taken notice to the steps Harrington Park has taken, putting in orders for the doors as well.
Nothing happens in Mayberry….
Waste of money, being spent as CYA insurance.
We are all for it. Never Enough security for schools. We feel all School ‘s should have one police officer from the town working inside the schools. Along with security.
