CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) -School districts across the country spent much of their summer break re-examining their safety measures and security plans, in the wake of the devastating shooting in Uvlade, Texas. The newest trend in school security, is artificial intelligence. Iterate.ai is applying the same kind tech that helps track down criminals with license plate and face recognition, to detect weapons on people who are approaching a school. Iterate founder Brian Santhianathan says they trained their platform in a large catalog of weapons, using 25,000 images. "We have also trained it to detect knives, sharp objects and things like Kevlar vests. We have also trained it to detect masks, both robbery masks and medical masks," he said.

Over 50 million k-12 students will go back to school in the US this month. For many of them using a school computer, every word they type will be tracked. Under the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA), any US school that receives federal funding is required to have an internet-safety policy. As school-issued tablets and Chromebook laptops become more commonplace, schools must install technological guardrails to keep their students safe. For some, this simply means blocking inappropriate websites.

The nonprofit InnerCity Struggle, which works to promote safe, healthy communities on L.A.'s Eastside, and the advocacy law firm Public Counsel asked the district for logs of random searches at schools where weapons had been confiscated. The district provided them with logs for 59 schools, fewer than a quarter of the middle and high schools. The records may not show all the searches at those 59 schools because they asked for logs only when weapons were found.

L.A. Unified requires daily random searches for weapons using metal-detector wands at all of its middle and high school campuses, including Hamilton High. L.A. Unified requires daily random searches for weapons using metal-detector wands at all of its middle and high school campuses, including Hamilton High. Kevin Castillo was in his freshman year at Hamilton High School when administrators carrying hand-held metal detectors interrupted his English class to conduct a random search. They asked a student to pick a number between 1 and 10. The student chose 7, so every seventh person in the class had to gather up belongings and step out of the classroom.
