Ensuring a Safe School Environment: Eliminating Lost Key Issues
Southampton School District (SHSD) is nestled in the beach village of Southampton, New York. As part of the summer colony known as The Hamptons, it has a mix of middle-income neighborhoods, rural farms, and an affluent estate section. The village is anchored by the elementary, middle, and high schools which are at the very center of community activity. James Gresham, SHSD Director of Security, says, “We decided to elevate the level of security in our schools to ensure the same safe environment our teachers, staff, students, and members of the community have always enjoyed.”
