NOTE Confidence: 0.94617975 00:00:27.250 --> 00:00:30.290 It's a shame that. It takes NOTE Confidence: 0.94617975 00:00:30.290 --> 00:00:32.090 another tragedy for security to NOTE Confidence: 0.94617975 00:00:32.090 --> 00:00:33.530 be increased. Michelle Baker NOTE Confidence: 0.81314933 00:00:33.530 --> 00:00:35.330 is a mother of five.

NOTE Confidence: 0.81314933 00:00:44.690 --> 00:00:47.570 Baker wonders why this wasn't done sooner. We NOTE Confidence: 0.81314933 00:00:47.570 --> 00:00:49.010 had. We've had Florida, NOTE Confidence: 0.81314933 00:00:49.010 --> 00:00:51.170 she was, and it wasn't serious. NOTE Confidence: 0.81314933 00:00:51.170 --> 00:00:52.970 Then when it should have. NOTE Confidence: 0.81314933 00:00:52.970 --> 00:00:55.130 It's like how many more casualties? NOTE Confidence: 0.81314933 00:00:55.130 --> 00:00:57.738 How many more about kids have to die NOTE Confidence: 0.81314933 00:00:57.738 --> 00:01:01.030 for the security to be increased? In our NOTE Confidence: 0.8570614 00:01:01.030 --> 00:01:03.522 schools, another change on the table body NOTE Confidence: 0.8570614 00:01:03.522 --> 00:01:05.628 scanning technology and some high schools.

A lot NOTE Confidence: 0.8570614 00:01:08.820 --> 00:01:10.272 of traditional security systems NOTE Confidence: 0.8570614 00:01:10.272 --> 00:01:12.450 require people to stop and take NOTE Confidence: 0.8570614 00:01:12.514 --> 00:01:14.129 things out of their pockets. NOTE Confidence: 0.8570614 00:01:14.130 --> 00:01:15.159 That creates anxiety, NOTE Confidence: 0.8570614 00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:17.560 and it also creates a line which NOTE Confidence: 0.8570614 00:01:17.628 --> 00:01:19.938 itself is a threat and so we've NOTE Confidence: 0.8570614 00:01:19.938 --> 00:01:21.748 eliminated the lines by using NOTE Confidence: 0.8570614 00:01:21.748 --> 00:01:23.248 technology that lets people NOTE Confidence: 0.8570614 00:01:23.248 --> 00:01:25.103 walk right through and detect NOTE Confidence: 0.8570614 00:01:25.103 --> 00:01:26.868 weapons that may be concealed NOTE Confidence: 0.8570614 00:01:26.870 --> 00:01:28.725 on them.

For Baker, she says. NOTE Confidence: 0.8803146 00:01:45.650 --> 00:01:47.818 She likes the idea of body scanners and NOTE Confidence: 0.8803146 00:01:47.818 --> 00:01:49.857 hopes that something that this trick NOTE Confidence: 0.8803146 00:01:49.857 --> 00:01:52.248 actually decides to pursue. I want my NOTE Confidence: 0.8803146 00:01:52.250 --> 00:01:56.488 kids to be safe. I put my kids in specific NOTE Confidence: 0.8803146 00:01:56.488 --> 00:01:59.329 schools to try and increase their safety, NOTE Confidence: 0.89664847 00:01:59.330 --> 00:02:01.140 but everybody deserves that right. NOTE Confidence: 0.89664847 00:02:01.140 --> 00:02:02.945 The body scan systems are NOTE Confidence: 0.89664847 00:02:02.945 --> 00:02:04.750 just the proposal for now, NOTE Confidence: 0.89664847 00:02:04.750 --> 00:02:06.555 and it's not clear whether NOTE Confidence: 0.89664847 00:02:06.555 --> 00:02:08.360 GCSS would work with evolve. NOTE Confidence: 0.89664847 00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:10.280 For now, the district will NOTE Confidence: 0.89664847 00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:12.200 have security checks up until NOTE Confidence: 0.89664847 00:02:12.275 --> 00:02:14.129 the end of the school year, NOTE Confidence: 0.89664847 00:02:14.130 --> 00:02:15.914 which is next Friday.
