CAPE ELIZABETH, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- The Cape Elizabeth school board met Tuesday night to discuss security at the district's schools.
The meeting was scheduled after an intruder scare last Wednesday. The fact that it was the same day as a bomb threat was just a coincidence.
Last week police said a former Cape Elizabeth High School student, Nathanael Lavallee, got into all three schools in Cape Elizabeth. At one point, he got through a locked door, according to police. Lavallee was arrested for trespassing.
At Tuesday's meeting, the school board was joined by the superintendent and the principals of the elementary, middle and high schools.
They discussed changes they could make to ensure student safety and improve communication.
Since last week, they've checked all the doors and fixed the one with a mechanical issue, which they believe allowed Lavallee to get in.
They also say they're looking at their security system and the training and drills students and teachers are required to do.
Emily Springer, who has two kids in elementary school, said after the meeting she'd like to have a resource officer on campus.
"I think it's sad that we have to have the conversation, that we have to lock down our schools, that we have to have buzzers on the doors, and I think that's where we need to be," she said. "They have to be safe."
Superintendent Meredith Nadeau said the district is looking into having a resource officer. She said some changes are already in the works, but not all of them can be discussed publicly for security reasons.
