Cameras will remain in six trial schools cafeterias, the board voted last thursday to a yes. The main idea and putting these cameras in the trial schools is to prevent student theft in their school cafeteria. Why? The money losses to the school are estimated at 1.2 million a year from theft of food. They are still in the progress of having these cameras in some of our local high schools to decide whether to make this a huge thing or not. The only problem in that is the estimated budget cut for the coming years versus the costs of the cameras and such. Although they have shown that the losses of money through stealing have gone down since being installed they still dont know if this is the route needed to take to totally prevent it.
