Isifunda sesikole iMarshalltown Community School sizimisele ukubhekana nesiphithiphithi somphunga ezikoleni. Ibhodi lesifunda lesikole livote ngazwi linye ngoMsombuluko ukuthi ligunyaze ukufakwa kwama-vape detectors ezakhiweni zesikole esifundeni. Manje sekuyindaba yesikhathi ngaphambi kokuthi isikole i-Marshall town Learning Academy, i-Lenihan Intermediate School, i-Marshalltown High School kanye nezakhiwo zesikole iMiller Middle zifakwe kuzo izinzwa ze-Halo 3C.
U-Amy Harmsen, umqondisi wesifunda sesikole sezobuchwepheshe nguyena olethe udaba ebhodini efuna imvume yesabelomali se-$130,720.87. Leli inani eliphelele elidingekayo ukuze kuthengwe futhi kufakwe izinzwa zevape ezingama-73 Hallo 3C ezakhiweni zesikole ngaphakathi kwesifunda.
Lokhu kwenziwe kulandela ukwanda kwezingane zesikole ezitholakala zi-vape ezikoleni esifundazweni sonke. Izinhloko zezikole eziningi sezizibikile izigameko zokushaywa kwezingane ezindlini zokugezela nakwezinye izindawo esikoleni.
NgokukaHarmsen, ukufutha kwentsha kuyinkinga kazwelonke isifunda somphakathi saseMarshalltown okuphoqeleke ukuthi sibhekane nayo. Uqhube wathi ngama-vape sensors bazokwazi ukumboza izindawo ezifana negumbi lokugezela lapho izingane zingangena khona kanye ne-vape nje. Ngezinzwa ezizwakalayo, izinhloko zesikole nothisha bazokwaziswa lapho abafundi bevapa futhi ngale ndlela, bazokwazi ukubheka izinto. Okubaluleke kakhulu ukuba khona kwalezi zinzwa kuzosebenza njengesivimbelo kubafundi abangase bafune ukuletha imikhiqizo ye-vaping esikoleni.
Izinzwa ze-Halo 3C zikhethwe ngenxa yokuthi zingakwazi ukuqapha izindawo ezidinga ubumfihlo njengezindlu zangasese ngaphandle kwesidingo sekhamera noma isiqophi somsindo. Ngale ndlela inzwa izokwazisa labo abaphethe lezo zakhiwo lapho kusetshenziswa imikhiqizo ye-vape ngaphandle kokurekhoda noma yiluphi ulwazi lomuntu siqu lwabafundi.
Izinzwa ze-Hallo 3C zenzelwe ukuzwa okungavamile emoyeni ozizungezile. Bese benza umsindo omkhulu ukwazisa labo abaseduze kwabo ngokungavamile okusemoyeni. Baphinde bathumele izixwayiso zombhalo noma ze-imeyili kumalungu othisha ngolwazi olusendaweni lapho i-alamu icushwe khona.
Izinzwa ze-Halo 3C nazo zizohlanganiswa ohlelweni olukhona lokugada izikole ukuze kusebenze amakhamera afanelekile. Lokhu kuzosiza ukukhomba noma yibaphi abafundi abazama uku-vape ezakhiweni zesikole. Ngokuka-Harmsen, lokhu kuzoba yingxenye yenqubo yokugada ebanzi ukusiza ukuvimbela abafundi ekushiseni ngaphakathi kwezinhlanganisela zesikole.
UHarmsen uthe ama-vape detectors kulindeleke ukuthi afakwe emabhilidini ahlonziwe ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezizayo ngaphambi kokuthi kuphele unyaka wesikole. Uma esefakiwe ukholelwa ukuthi lo mzamo uzosiza ekwehliseni izigameko zokushona kwezingane esikoleni. Uthemba nokuthi lokhu kuzosiza kakhulu ekuvimbeleni intsha esifundeni sesikole ekucosheni umkhuba wokushunqisa. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi i-vaping itholakale inezinkinga eziningi zempilo ezimbi kakhulu.
Uthi isifunda sesikole asihlosile ukuhlukumeza izingane ngokufaka ama-sensor. Zifakwa kuphela njengesivimbeli ukuze abafundi bangafuni ukuhlala isikhathi eside endaweni, abaziyo ukuthi inama-vape sensors. Kuzophinda kube yisikhumbuzo ezinganeni ukuthi zingalethi noma yiziphi izisetshenziswa zokushunqisa ezitholwe ngokungemthetho esikoleni.
