School spent 1.1 million on security guards in six weeks

A school in Norway incurred over one million kroner in expenses for hiring security guards due to repeated serious rule violations.

Rælingen Secondary School in Romerike, Norway, faced significant challenges that necessitated the hiring of security personnel for a total cost of 1,127,408 kroner over a six-week period from November 7 to December 19, 2025. This decision came after several serious breaches of school rules, highlighting concerns about safety and regulation compliance within the institution.

The financial burden of hiring private security underscores the issues the school faced and raises broader questions about student behavior, rule enforcement, and the adequacy of existing measures to maintain a safe educational environment. As reported by Aftenposten, invoices revealing these costs indicate that the situation escalated to a point where external intervention was deemed necessary to ensure compliance with rules and safety protocols.

This incident reflects a growing trend in educational institutions facing challenges with student conduct and safety. The implications may lead to an increased focus on strategies for addressing behavior issues within schools and the potential need for additional funding to support student services and security measures in the future.
