The new electronic classroom locks are officially in use for the new school year. Faculty and staff can now use their identification cards to enter certain rooms in the building. Each staff member has a set of rooms that they have permission to access. These permissions can be altered in the case of a card being lost or stolen. These locks will also allow the building to be remotely locked down in the case of an emergency.
The locks have already been installed and are in-use at the Lower Macungie Middle School and Macungie Elementary School. Doors are still equipped with normal key locks in addition to the electronics.
