ver since the school shooting

in Newtown, Conn., in Decem-

ber 2012, school districts across

the country have done their best to im-

prove school security.

Some have hired armed guards to

stand watch in school buildings. Some

have improved security systems, lock-ing all exterior doors and filtering visi-

tors through one main entrance. Some

have installed metal detectors and

other screening devices. Some have

done all this, and more.

New Jersey officials recognize the

need for increased school security, and

they want to do something about it

or, at least, they want to study what to

do about it.

The state Senate and Assembly re-

cently established a School Security

Task Force that will ultimately give

recommendations on how to improve

school security and safety. The group

will also make recommendations on

building security and assessment

standards for current school buildingsand new ones to come.

Some of the areas of focus they will

study:

Placing screening systems at

school entrances

Using biometric, retina or other

advanced recognition

Stationing police officers in each

school building Requiring advanced student and

visitor identification

Conducting an official study on

school security with a panel of indus-

try experts is a tremendous, and long

overdue, idea. Just like with student

testing and budgeting requirements,

its a good idea to have a standardized

system for security at schools through-

out New Jersey.

But this begs the question: How will

we pay for whatever this task force

recommends?

Lets say, for example, the task force

recommends a biometric, retina or

other advanced recognition systemfor visitors entering school buildings,

and our state government then passes

that bill. How are our already-cash-

strapped school districts going to pay

for what sounds like an expensive sys-

tem?

Studying school security on a

statewide level is a great first step.

Making recommendations on how to

improve security is a natural second

step. But a necessary third step must

be how any required security en-

hancements will be paid for, and by

whom. In an age when schools are hav-

ing trouble paying for teachers, its

hard to imagine biometrics being easy

to fit into the budget.

in our opinion

Tighter school securitySafer is always better, but whos going to pay for it?

Your thoughts

Do our schools need tighter security?Should state government play a role intelling school districts what they must doin regard to school security? Share yourthoughts through a letter to the editor.

PEAC Health & Fitness will host twocomplimentary College Bound lectureson March 18 and March 25, to address im-portant aspects of planning for college,presented by experts in the field.

library was founded as HopewellNational Bank on March 17, 1890.Since then, the library has under-gone many changes, but it has re-tained its reputation as a friend-ly library, according to ConnieDixon, a library staff member.

In 2009, Hopewell Public Li-brary became automated withbar-coded library cards and bar-coded book labels. The online cat-alog replaced the physical card

catalog and patrons were able tosearch for materials from the li-brary and from home. HPL wasone of the last New Jersey publiclibraries to automate, but it hasbeen one of the first to implementan open source integrated li-brary system.

Looking to the future, HPLhopes to continue to improve andexpand its offerings to the public.

The Hopewell Public Library

was community-driven and it stillis. We do what we can; we are sosmall so we cannot do too manythings inside the library. But weare a very friendly library. You

cannot come in without being no-ticed or talked to. We really get toknow our patrons, Dixon said.

She added that since the spaceis small, and there are alwaysconversations going on betweenpatrons and staff members, it isnot exactly a quiet library.

The most popular programsare childrens story time on Mon-day mornings and the once-per-month Wednesday Night Out.Typically held at the train sta-

tion, the library holds specialevents for community memberswith varying themes.

Ive lived here for over 30years, and there is an eclectic mixof people, which is my favoritepart. Some have lived here forgenerations and some are newfamilies, but I get to talk to all theinteresting people that comethrough and I feel very connectedto the town, Dixon said.

to educate the public and providea forum for our community mem-bers to discuss things they arelearning, Ha said.

Leanne Hunt, The Stony

Brook-Millstone Watershed Asso-ciations communications manag-er, explained that many people donot understand that water is alimited resource, and a goal ofthe film festival is to leave view-ers with that impression.

I think that most people in theworld dont realize how much of aresource water is and how its alimited resource that needs to beprotected. They dont give muchthought that water is coming from

our local streams, Hunt said.Hunt shared her hopes toscreen the next Watershed FilmFestival at the Watersheds newenvironmental center that is cur-rently under construction.

The new environmental cen-ter will have many high-tech re-sources for people to take advan-tage of. We hope for it to become acenter for people to gather andlearn, Hunt said.
