NAPERVILLE, Illinois and BARBERTON, Ohio (PRNewswire-PRWeb) – metrasens, a leading provider of advanced detection systems for safety and security applications, is pleased to announce its partnership with Barberton High School (BHS), the elementary high school within the Barberton City School District. BHS selected Metrasens as part of its proactive approach to strengthening campus security measures and maintaining a safe learning environment.
With recent incidents of bomb threats against schools across the United States, concerns about security at educational institutions have increased. Recognizing the changing challenges in maintaining a safe environment, Henry Muren, principal of Barberton High School, emphasized the need for increased safety measures. In response, BHS took proactive steps by partnering with Metrasens to enhance existing security protocols and identify potential threats.
“While no bomb threats were directed at BHS during the recent incidents, the administration recognizes the growing threat and the need to stay ahead of potential risks,” said Henry Muren, principal of Barberton High School. “We do not live in the world of comfort and security, as before.”
The school successfully tested Metrasens Ultra, an advanced metal detection technology with non-contact and radiation-free detection. Metrasens demonstrated its capabilities at a BHS football game, followed by deployments at a home basketball game, with plans for further expansion to other events.
BHS Principal Muren emphasized the importance of student involvement in safety measures, highlighting the school's commitment to the Sandy Hook Pledge and fostering a culture in which everyone contributes to ensuring safety. Recognizing the increasing prevalence of metal detectors in public spaces, Muren emphasized the need to adapt to the changing security landscape.
“Our collective efforts to improve the safety of our students, staff and community members are crucial, and Metrasens plays an important role in providing advanced security solutions that align with our commitment to a safe and proactive environment,” Muren said.
Metrasens has earned praise for providing an efficient, mobile security solution and has received positive feedback from BHS administrators and the community. The district commends Metrasens for its exemplary customer service during the implementation. In line with its commitment to improving security measures without financial strain, the school is actively seeking grant opportunities to purchase additional Metrasens detection systems.
“We think having another layer of security that is non-intrusive and safe to use is a logical step forward,” said Jeff Ramnytz, superintendent of Barberton City Schools. “We will highly recommend Metrasens to other school districts also looking to improve their security measures.”
Metrasens Ultra is designed to be safe for all people, including pregnant women and people with medical conditions, operating with a passive seeking method. The technology allows for efficient and respectful control, guaranteeing a safe environment without hindering access.
“We are delighted to play an integral role in helping BHS achieve its goals,” said Chris Arbeitman, vice president of business and market development at Metrasens. “We are aligned with BHS's proactive approach and remain committed to supporting all of its safety initiatives to ensure a safe and positive experience today and in the future.”
