Randomized Security Screenings

Randomized metal detection allows us to increase the psychology of safety for students and staff while deterring bad actors from bringing contraband and weapons to school. Not knowing when and where the screening will occur also removes bias by not relying on “reasonable suspicion” to activate a search process. 

We soft launched the new randomized screening process in March 2026. Our full launch of this procedure will happen at the start of the 2026-2027 school year, providing students and families with the ability to engage with us after a few screenings have occurred, and providing our safety and security team with time to test and refine the process. Junior Academy screenings will begin in August, and Senior Academy screenings will begin in September. Please visit our Safety page to read more about the process including Frequently Asked Questions.
