The issue of school security has become a focus since last month's mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT.

"The forums will allow for suggestions that may apply to both individual schools and/or district security practices. While input and suggestions will be welcome, a final plan will await both the conclusion of these three meetings and a public discussion with the Board of School Directors in February," an email from the district said.
