The Newton public schools, facing pressure from parents after the mass shooting at a Connecticut school last week, will probably install buzzers and cameras at elementary and middle schools, ending a tradition of open buildings.
Superintendent David Fleishman said in an interview Friday that school and city officials will begin looking at a cost and timeline for making the changes to the schools’ front doors. In a letter to parents Friday, Fleishman outlined additional security issues district officials are examining, such as drop-off and pick-up procedures, identification and sign-in policies, and lockdown and fire drills.

So there are roughly 10,000 people killed due to drunk drivers each year. Almost 3,000 due to Repeat drunk drivers. There are over 1,200 deaths due to under-age drunk drivers annually.
Then 20 children are randomly killed in CT and we are locking the doors in Newton? When are they going to stop the carnage on the Road?
