The school board hopes the cameras will add an extra layer of protection to schools.

“If someone comes on the school ground that is not allowed or banned for bringing a gun onto the school ground or something like that, it will alert our local law enforcement,” said Paul Hildreth with Fulton County Schools’ safety and security department.

Officials said the cameras could be on every school campus by January.
