The security at Hinsdale Central is always changing for the better and making school safe for everybody. New rules have been made for this semester to ensure everybody at Central feels comfortable.

“I think they made good ideas, I think it is efficient and well-thought out,” said Sakina Moosabhoy, senior. “The safety at school seems pretty solid and good.”

Students who are in the study hall are required to scan-in and report to either the library or multi-purpose room. If a student can leave with an issued pass from the teacher which shows that they are coming from study hall and even have to log in and out on a sheet.

“Students first have to sign out on the sign-out sheet and then get a pass from us,” said Janice Hall, student supervisor. “This ensures safety and we know where the student should be.”

A new system for the second semester has also been implemented. The metal detectors will be used on random days at Door 5 at the Grant street entrance, and students will not be notified beforehand. Students are required to remove their Chromebooks from their backpacks and walk through metal detectors. Students are encouraged to come early to school to avoid getting tardy for being late that day.

“I don’t think we should sacrifice school time for security, security is very important but I think there are other ways to implement it,” said Zahra Haque, senior. 

Hinsdale Central’s staff and security consider security as their number one priority and do everything to implement ultimate safety throughout their school. 

“I think the school security is effective, they implement good and thorough rules a student should follow,” Hall said. “Remember that if you see something, always say something.”
