Davie County Schools is joining the list of Triad school systems implementing metal detectors on its campuses. School officials say OPENGATE weapon detection systems will be phased in on some campuses next week. Clay Harris, chief operations officer for Davie County Schools, says the goal of implementing these systems is to ensure a safe learning environment for students and staff.”We don’t want to do it, but it’s one of those things we have to do,” he said. “Safety is paramount for where we are and what we’re doing. You take a look at what’s going on—we have to make changes. Our environment changes, so we have to make changes and make sure that we’re meeting the demands that are out there.”Top StoriesThe College Football Playoff semifinals are setNorth Carolina State Highway Patrol trooper dies on New Year’s EveCold pattern ahead: North Carolina’s chances for snow in JanuaryGet the latest news …
