North Shore Graduations Step Up Security

North Shore colleges and high schools will increase security for graduation ceremonies due to the Boston Marathon bombing, the Salem News is reporting.
Many schools, like Salem State University and Gordon College, will have bag searches and increased number of security personnel.
