Metal detectors and more security guards are headed to all schools in the Johnstown School District to help provide a safer learning environment for their students. Johnstown High School Principal Michael Dadey says, “We feel that it’s going to provide an extra layer of protection if protection is needed. If we need to have that in place it’s just an added tool to our toolbox that we already use here at the district.” The metal detectors cost more than $20,000 dollars, but Principal Dadey says the safety of all their students is the number one priority. Dadey says the plans the beef up security took place well before the planned shooting at Westmont Hilltop last year.
