Students are being told to prepare to wait longer to get into William Floyd High School on Monday as they will be randomly scanned with a metal detector wand after a 14-year-old student was found with a loaded gun Friday.
The teen was initially suspected of vaping before they detected a gun on the student. The teen is facing criminal charges.
District leaders sent a letter to parents stating they will randomly scan students as they come to school on Monday. The letter also noted that the Board of Education had scheduled an emergency executive session meeting on Monday to discuss Friday's incident and the response, including installing metal detectors and other increased security measures.
