Gilbert Public Schools will accelerate the rollout of weapons detection systems after guns were found on two of its campuses, officials said.
Gilbert Public Schools Superintendent Shane McCord acknowledged a series of difficult events that have impacted the district in recent weeks. His report at the April 29 governing board meeting included details about weapons found on campuses, as well as a reaffirmation of the district’s commitment to suicide prevention following the death of a student.
“These tragic and alarming events shake a school, school district and a community to the core,” he said.
