As the number of school shootings in the United States rises to its highest level in two decades, student safety is top of mind. School and district leaders are constantly trying to determine the best ways to protect students and teachers if there were an active threat. But KCRA 3 Investigates found some of the largest districts in our area are missing a basic safety feature: interior door locks.
More than a decade ago, several districts across California made the decision to replace all classroom door locks with interior locks. It’s part of a bigger safety plan for campuses to make sure students and staff are protected in case of an active threat.
Interior locks allow teachers to lock the classroom door from inside the classroom, without stepping into the hallway and potentially putting themselves, and students, in danger in case of a shooting or other threat.
