District says ZeroEyes gun-detection system now active in secondary schools
Summary
Interim Superintendent John Koch reported the district installed ZeroEyes on about 100 secondary cameras and described a test where the system flagged Nerf toys and notified staff within seconds while correctly classifying them as not real weapons.
Interim Superintendent John Koch told the board on May 21 that the district has installed the ZeroEyes gun-detection system on approximately 100 secondary-school cameras and that the system is operational and sending alerts to staff.
Koch described a drill in which students played with Nerf toys; the system flagged the silhouette and determined within about 10 seconds that "it was a toy gun," while still notifying staff so they could respond. He said law enforcement tested the system by drawing weapons during exercises and that rapid detection supports quicker lockdown capability. The system is currently installed across middle and high school secondary buildings and staff are monitoring alert behavior and response times.
