Holt, Pomona Unified School District Panel: Leonard Hernandez Jr. Pomona Unified School District ; Edgar Castor, Homeland Security, Protective Security Advisor, Local Control and Accountability Plan The LCAP has eight important components that are comprehensive planning tool to assure that each student in our school districts are successful Basic Services is one of the eight criteria of the LCAP, we will focus on a small piece of this services.. 1

2 Local Control and Accountability Plan Providing all students with access to fully credentialed teachers in their subject areas, as well as instructional materials that align with state standards, AND SAFE, properly maintained school facilities How School District s Can Maintain Safety & Security 2

3 C.A.S.H School Safety & Security School Safety & Security Learning Objective: To provide an overview of best practices with regards to safety and security safe and secure environment for school districts within the Maintenance & Operations. M&O shares a significant part of this responsibility. Lesson learned will enable best practices C.A.SH. M&O School Safety & Security Agenda Video Cameras Signage Lightening Key Access Gates/Fences Civic Center School Police/Campus Security Officer Custodial Staff 3

4 VIDEO CAMERAS Video Cameras Safety Our schools are where are students should feel safe. Prevents bullying, fights, Evidence and Accountability Protects classroom vandalism Video recording can preserve strong evidence Word will spread throughout the community Provides surveillance and supervision A peace of mind Illegal use of activities (weekends) Liability claims Signage Promotes compliance with School District rules and policies A form of communication (24/7) Establishes protocols. School Access & Visitor Control Provide safety measures Provides notification to students, parents and visitors. Signage must be visible Provide limited access to school buildings and parking structures 4

6 Key Accountability Key and Key cards Lost, stolen or broken keys must be reported Retrieve keys from employees who have terminated or resigns. Prevention of community accessibility Those employees who have been issued a key to a building within the School District of Baraboo shall abide by the following policy. For the purpose of this policy, electronic access cards are referred to as a key and should be considered the same LOST/STOLEN KEYS Keys Any person losing a key(s) must notify District s School Security and Director of the issuing authority, Principal, building administrator immediately to ensure against compromise of the key control system. Notification should immediately be made by telephone or in person and followed by a written notification report within 48 hours containing circumstances of the loss. Written notice must include, but is not limited to: 1. Where the key was lost or stolen. 2. Time and date of loss. 3. If stolen, by whom if known. 4. Date and signature of employee. 6

7 Keys TERMINATION/RESIGNATION Upon termination or resignation, employees shall turn in all keys to the building principal or their supervisor, who shall return the keys to the Maintenance & Operations Director or his/her designee within 24 hours. RECORDKEEPING Keys Key and lock records are considered high security items and must be safeguarded and secured at all times, except when in actual authorized use. The M&O Director or his/her designee will maintain the key/lock records, including all facility locks, keys, and key holders. Records will be kept current at all times. These records will provide the basis for individual key/lock inventory and control. 7

8 Gates The first thing in securing a school site. The physical security that surrounds a school site needs to be interfaced with intelligent access control solutions across the entire campus. Generally speaking most schools will require segregated access to the main reception from the car park, at which point all visitors are vetted and their reason for wanting to gain entry to be qualified prior to being granted access to the site. In the interest of safety, all access controls must work in conjunction with any fire alarm installation to ensure a speedy evacuation of the site when required. Civic Center Community Use of Public School Facilities Communication between Civic Center, School Site, M&O, and School Security 8

9 School Security Officers Limited access to school building (designated entrance with all other access points locked from the exterior). Monitoring of school guests (report to main office, sign in, wear badges, report unfamiliar people to school office). Monitoring of the school parking lot (parking lot monitors who oversee, people entering and leaving the campus). Monitoring and supervision of student common areas such as hallways, cafeterias, and playgrounds. School community partnerships to enhance safety measures for students beyond school property Conclusion Communicate, Communicate, Communicate! While school safety and security will be of paramount to the school, decision makers are also, of course having to factor in the need to make buying decisions which actively reduce the school s carbon footprint and demonstrate best use of public funds. Safety and Security is NEVER compromise! 9
