Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake A normal school day at O’Rourke Middle School used to just start with a bus ride, school breakfast and morning announcements. But with a new gadget now welcoming them at the double doors, kids must align their foreheads with a height-adjustable machine in order to get the green light to learn.
This new addition to their routine is courtesy of local company Shepherd Communication & Security, which introduced its Elevated Body Temperature technology just a couple of months into lockdown last year. After vetting a few different technologies, the district realized the EBT was exactly what they needed.
