New York City Schools are rolling out a door-locking mechanism to increase safety for students in more than 1,000 schools.
The city's Department of Education agreed to a $43 million contract that would put camera-based door-locking mechanisms in 1,300 buildings. For now, the front door of these facilities will have the technology.
The mechanism was one that PS28 in Queens piloted, something that principal Robert Quintana is proud of and feels upbeat as an added measure of safety for his students, given that it allows school staff to see who is at the door before letting them in.
