DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Four Volusia County high schools now have metal detectors in place as part of their security protocol, according to an update from the school district Tuesday.

School district officials confirmed the metal detectors are up and running at:

Pine Ridge High School in Deltona

Mainland High School in Daytona Beach
