MPR: Franken: Student mental health key in helping school security
EAGAN, Minn. — Sen. Al Franken met with school officials Monday in Eagan to discuss school safety, three weeks after the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn. The conversation ranged from school security to better monitoring the mental health of students to prevent future violence.
Dakota Hills Middle School, south of the Twin Cities, handles school security like many Minnesota schools. Traffic into the school is tightly monitored, Principal Trevor Johnson said. All non-student visitors who come through the front door must be checked-in by an employee.
“Our doors are locked all the time, every day, except for the front door,” Johnson said.
