Meriden Schools to Strengthen Security
Following the Newtown elementary school tragedy, Meriden schools will be installing surveillance cameras and buzz-in entry systems.
According to a report in the Record-Journal, Superintendent Mark D. Benigni said surveillance cameras and buzz-in entry systems will be added to all city schools. The decision comes following the massacre that took place at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown last Friday, killing 26.
The tragedy brought the topic of school safety to the forefront of discussion as community leaders and officials in Meriden and across the country weigh options, states the report.
