School Security Plans to be Revealed at West Towson Meeting

County officials will present plans for increasing school security during a press conference on Tuesday.

Baltimore County Public Schools Superintendent Dallas Dance will join County Executive Kevin Kamenetz and Police Chief Jim Johnson for a press conference on Tuesday, Oct. 14, to discuss fast-tracking installation of security equipment at all county schools, according to an Oct. 10 announcement from Baltimore County Public Schools.

At a March press conference, the county reported that it had put three security cameras at all elementary schools.

Tuesday’s meeting will continue the conversation about safety, involving all levels of school. Officials will propose a two-year supplemental budget appropriation and capital funding request for networked security cameras and card-reader entry systems in all county schools, according to the announcement from county government.

The press conference will be at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 14, at West Towson Elementary School, 6914 North Charles Street, in Towson.
