Enhancing School Safety in Nashville

In a significant move toward bolstering school safety, Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) is planning to expand the use of the Evolv concealed weapons detection system across all high schools. After a successful trial at Antioch High School, this initiative aims to provide a safer environment for students and staff. The Evolv system utilizes advanced artificial intelligence to efficiently detect weapons with minimal disruption at school entry points. This cutting-edge technology ensures that safety measures do not interfere with the daily flow of student life. The expansion proposal is set to be reviewed by the Metro Nashville Board of Education on February 11, 2025. If approved, this contract will mark a pivotal step in creating a secure educational atmosphere for the entire MNPS community. Stay tuned as Nashville takes proactive steps to ensure school safety, reaffirming its commitment to protecting its students and educators.
