The new classroom locks are electronic and can be locked and unlocked with teacher access cards. In addition, each classroom with be equip with a remote control that can lock the door from anywhere in the room.
School resource officers will also have the capability to lock down every classroom simultaneously.
Another feature of the system is its ability to function in the instance of a power outage.
The same type of locks were installed at Milan Elementary School last fall.
