Channel 2′s Bryan Mims was at the school Thursday with a look at how the new technology works and why some parents are concerned about it.
The problem involved new security badges that all Fulton County Schools employees wear. Each badge is the size of a credit card, and each has a button.
If a staff member pushes the button too many times, the school goes into lockdown.
Why some parents aren’t fans of the new technology, on Channel 2 Action News at 5 p.m.
