Glasscock Independent School District, a public school district located in Garden City, Texas, with hundreds of students across two schools, has embarked on an ongoing security plan to convert to a largely wireless, keyless access-controlled environment, to streamline its security and access at its facilities.

Several local Pennsylvania schools have received Safe School grants from the State's Department of Education to fund  safety and security-related equipment spending.

Previously, school districts dealt with securing their systems at both the district and school level. But now, teaching, learning and working are all happening at home simultaneously. It’s messy, far more complicated, and gives our cyber and IT teams significantly less control over networks and security than there was when traditional in-school learning was the norm. It’s especially crucial we keep our security measures tight, even if it feels like an uphill battle.

The School Safety Task Force will review the role of School Resource Officers and present recommendations to further the District’s policy goals of implementing all elements of restorative practices to ensure equitable and safe inclusive schools.
