Officials at the Kamloops Thompson School District will consider installing surveillance cameras on school properties to combat vandalism.
Assistant Superintendent Rob Schoen floated the idea after graffiti threatened three local schools this month.
“So that’s a conversation we’re going to have,” he said. “I mean that isn’t something that we do without going to the board of education and getting permission to do so and then alerting the public that we are doing so.”
All three threats were found to be not credible, but Schoen says officials are frustrated.
He noted that one threat against a school is one too many, adding officials will also be looking at other what else can be done to the bottom of the issue.
In all there have been five threats against a local school in the past two weeks, including one at Dallas Elementary School today.
Sa-Hali Secondary was threatened by a snapchat last Wednesday and yesterday by some graffiti, there was a bomb threat was painted on Valleyview Secondary last Friday, and Kamloops Christian School was closed yesterday after someone made a threatening post on snapchat.
