Madison schools have increased building security in recent years

Matthew DeFour:

Over the past two years the Madison School District has implemented increased safety measures at its schools, including locking school buildings during the day.

As of this school year, all of the district's buildings are to be locked during the school day, district security coordinator Luis Yudice said. The district works constantly with police to address any potential threats to school safety.

"We have the expectation that if any schools have any hint of threatening behavior, they will direct that to me," Yudice said. "We try to work at the front end of the problem, before those issues come into the school."

Yudice addressed questions about building security at Madison schools Friday in the wake of a mass murder at a Connecticut elementary school.
