JT Security in Full Force Monday

TYLER — Some new security is coming to John Tyler High School this coming year, in the wake of a fatal stabbing of a teacher last year. Tyler I.S.D. is moving forward with a brand new plan, to change dress code and up security. The move comes after last years brutal stabbing of special education teacher Todd Henry. Among some of the changes are a portable metal detectors and a wrought iron fence that surrounds the high school. According to KETK, with all the new added security you might think this was a hot button issue but apparently this years new dress code is driving up more concern. This year all students will be required to wear shirts with collars and sleeves. The shirts can be any color, but no T-shirts are allowed. Male students will have to tuck in their shirts and wear pants at the waistline. No rips or tears are allowed even if that is the design of the pants, shorts or skirts. Skirts and shorts will have to be worn at the knee. While security is no guarantee of safety, John Tyler High School is certainly going to do their best to try when school starts August 23.
