A vote on a security assessment for South Bend Schools has been delayed for another couple weeks.
The assessment would be district wide and include things like armed intruder training for all staff members, natural disaster training, and address overall security issues at school building.
Superintendent Todd Cummings said the delay is just to give them more time to work out the details of the contract. They were also very clear that arming teachers would NOT be part of the overall plan.
It should cost around $100,000 to carry out the assessment, but that cost is being 100% covered by the State Department of Homeland Security.
They are now set to vote on Sept. 16th.
