At last week's BOE meeting we approved a video surveillance plan for the three active entrances we have to our building. Aside from a central monitor with VCR, it will tie into our computer network so we can monitor the doorways from any workstation on our network ( all offices and classrooms). We also approved an in-house silent alarm connecting each of our offices similar to a nurse's station button in hospital. We are exploring speeddial from all teacher phones to an in-house 911 type of number automatically relayed to each office.

On the preventive side we are implementing Peer mediation and exploring Natural Helpers, as well as funding a part-time school social worker in the general fund budget.

Small steps, but some, anyway.
