Roane County Schools installing security film on windows to protect students
SUMMARY: Roane County Schools in West Virginia are installing transparent security film on windows at Roane County High and Spencer Middle School to enhance safety. The film is designed to prevent break-ins and delay intruders, offering students and staff more time to react during emergencies. Principal Andrew Johnson and Superintendent Dr. Richard Duncan emphasize the importance of this added security for student safety, especially during lockdown drills. Funded by the School Building Authority of West Virginia, the project costs over $900,000 and is expected to be completed by next week. The district aims to expand this security feature to all county schools.
