The MAST Academy administration recently announced the re-introduction of random metal detector checks.
Principle Dr. Collman-Perez sent an email to MAST teachers stating the new metal detection initiative will begin Apr. 8.
Metal detector checks will be performed by a private metal detection security team partnered with Miami-Dade County Public Schools District. The team will be entering classrooms from grades 6-12 throughout the district, conducting random sweeps of classrooms to ensure safety and security for schools.
The metal detection team will be doing the classroom checks alongside respective school assigned resource officers.
“Their presence will not only assist in coordinating the logistics of the visit but also ensure a safe, smooth, and efficient process throughout,” Collman-Perez stated regarding the School Resource Officer being present.
The upcoming metal detector initiative is an opportunity to continue maintaining a safe and secure school environment.
