The Panel for Educational Policy has voted to approve a $43 million contract to lock the front entrances of New York City school doors, as well as install cameras and buzzers.
The security system is intended to keep unwanted visitors out of school buildings. It comes in the wake of Sandy Hook, Uvalde and two recent shootings outside two Brooklyn high schools in the past few weeks.
According to Chalkbeat, the new technology would be monitored by school safety agents.
