Officials at Wichita Public Schools, the largest district in the state, announced new safety precautions following a tumultuous week that included multiple brawls and students being arrested for bringing a gun to school. Terri Moses, director of safety and environmental services, said Wednesday the school district will put automated screening devices — which she said are a step up from traditional metal detectors — at all of its high schools. There will be 45 to 50 devices at a cost of up to $1.5 million, she said. “This is a sign of our times,” Moses said, referring to guns in the community and at other schools nationwide.
