Kanawha Schools Boost Security with New Vestibules

About this episode

Kanawha County is enhancing school security by installing high-tech vestibules at ten schools.

Kanawha County is rolling out major school security upgrades, installing high-tech vestibules—aka “man traps”—at ten schools to ensure visitors must be buzzed in before entering. Picked for ease of installation, these schools will be completed by fall, with more to follow. Funded by a 2022 voter-approved tax levy, the $762,000 first phase is being handled by City Construction Company. The goal? Peace of mind for students, staff, and parents, with every public school eventually getting the security upgrade. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
