Something is seriously wrong with Broward County Schools, in addition to the obvious, of course. Has anyone looked at their financials? Perfect Loop Capital territory there, but I digress….
I've spent the afternoon studying them looking for evidence of what security company they might have been using to no avail, but I found something really bizarre. It looks like this SMART program was instituted back around 2015 which required schools to meet certain safety, technology and other standards. In reviewing all of this I found something that smells FISHY!
One of the things required was something called "single point of entry." I assume this to be creation of a single entry point in the school to avoid what happened the other day at Stoneman. Interestingly, I've yet to find a school other than Stoneman that didn't implement the single entry point. There are a few schools that don't have it in the budget for implementation, but those schools met the criteria already and were noted as such - why fix what ain't broken? Stoneman doesn't meet the criteria (obviously) and yet it wasn't earmarked for the upgraded security? WTF?
