MISSOULA (KPAX TV) —
But in the wake of this incident, school officials felt a need to triple down on security and safety infrastructure.
Parents of students received an email from Principal Ted Fuller on Monday evening with a timeline of construction projects, along with information on the school’s security plan.
One of the major updates will be 13-to-15 new lockdown buttons which will be installed throughout the school and if pressed, would initiate a full perimeter door lock, play an emergency announcement over the PA system and alert law enforcement.
School officials have also moved up the installation of a campus-wide camera system with 52 cameras set to be installed by the beginning of March.
A new card reader system for all exterior doors and fully functional PA system should also be in place in the coming months.
Sentinel High School will be showing a PSA this Thursday to reinforce the seriousness and importance of following protocols in the event of threat or drill to help educate students on the emergency response procedures.
