School officials propose 27 vape detectors for high-school restrooms; trustees press on privacy, vandalism and staffing

Assistant Superintendent Wolf presented a proposal to purchase and install 27 Halo 3C smart sensors across the districthigh schools (Kettering, Mott and Durant) to detect vaping, loud noises and other threats in student restrooms. Wolf said the devices send near-instant text alerts to designated response-team members and that the purchase and annual software subscriptions would be funded from the 31aa student safety and mental-health allocation, with a cooperative-quote total of about $32,570.
