To: Ronald Wilcox, Hampton County School District One Superintendent

Metal detectors are needed for the safety of our children and staff members.

We are asking that you install metal detectors in our middle and high schools to help keep our children and staff members safe.

Why is this important?

There have been several incidents this school year where students have brought deadly weapons into the middle and high schools in Hampton County. Even though those students were disciplined, we as parents believe that law enforcement can assist in tightening up on security to prevent weapons from entering the schools. We are asking that the Hampton School District One install walk-through metal detectors at the student entries as added security to help protect our children and staff members from senseless harm.
