Heightened security measures are set to take effect this week at William Floyd High School after police say a student brought a gun to school.

Walking into school this week may look a little different for students.

Three metal detectors will be moved between five different entrances to the school, as a way to enhance safety for students.

The move comes after police say they arrested a student who brought a loaded gun to school in October.

The district is calling it a pilot program and metal detectors will be used to randomly screen students during the trial run.

Administrators say the detectors will be used at the middle and elementary schools, after a successful launch at the high school.

Some parents are in favor of this heightened security measure as they say it will increase safety for students.

News 12 spoke with one student on her way to into school.

“I feel like it’s really bad that it’s gotten to this point. I just hope this does help with problems with guns and stuff like that at our school," said Aisling Aylward, a senior at William Floyd High School.

The high school's pilot program is expected to last two months before full implementation at the high school.
