SELBYVILLE, Del. - Indian River School District administrators and constables were trained on Aug. 21 on the new weapons detection system that will be utilized at some athletic events this school year.
District office employees tested the equipment by passing through the detectors as if they were spectators at a sporting event. Then new teachers passed through the system as well after attending training for new educator week, said IRSD.
