A new year for Wichita Public Schools accompanies changes coming with children’s safety in mind. The district is using a grant from The State of Kansas to pay for improvements.
The grant will pay for some pricier, high-tech upgrades, but it’s some low-tech upgrades administrators say, could make a big difference. Some of the grant money went to pay for things like deadbolts and corresponding stickers the number each and every door in a school from the inside and out.
Wichita Public Schools Director of Safety Services Terri Moses says soon, virtually every classroom door in the district will lock from the inside.
