Weast spins Springbrook while replacing staff with cameras

The Washington Post is running the following statement from Superintendent Jerry Weast in an article on the Springbrook incident.

He praised a police officer assigned to the school for knowing one of the suspects well enough that the student ultimately confided in him. "It's truly about relationships," Weast said.

If Superintendent Weast believes this statement why is he out buying 13,000 security cameras and replacing security staff with cameras?

Why didn't Board President Nancy Navarro sign the contract for the purchase of the security cameras, and why wasn't this shift from people to cameras discussed at the Board of Education table?
