As the year has passed, the Westfield High School (WHS) administration has gotten stricter with the rules they are implementing. Certain new safety measures include mandatory lanyard-wearing and SmartPass, a digital hall pass system designed to manage student movement. The system allows teachers to track student locations in real-time, providing administrators with data on student accountability. Although these new regulations are meant to keep our school and its students safe, the way they have been implemented can be improved.
