One of Long Island's largest school districts is getting a major security overhaul.

According to school district officials, metal detectors will likely be installed in the William Floyd School District in Mastic Beach by the end of this school year.

The updated security policy comes two weeks after a 14-year-old student brought a loaded gun into the high school.

The weapon was caught by a metal-detecting wand that security has been using to screen people entering educational buildings.

Tuesday night, the William Floyd Board of Education held its first public meeting since that incident.

Officials reaffirmed their priority to safety before a packed room of dozens of concerned parents demanding answers on how the school would keep their kids safe.

Suffolk County police and federal law enforcement officials discussed how they prepare and train for any active shooter situation and how the current procedures are making a difference.

The district did not provide a timeline on when the metal detectors could be implemented, but said it is a priority to get it done by next summer. The district is in contact with potential vendors to move the process forward.

In the meantime, security will continue to screen people entering school buildings with wands. The district has ordered dozens more to make these checks more frequent and efficient.
