Collaboration is Key When it Comes to School Safety and Security
Presented by Hal Kelton and Joe Hendry Jr.
School safety and security involves a multifaceted and proactive strategy, design, and preparedness aimed at safeguarding the well-being of students, educators, and staff within the educational environment.
The final design must encompass and prioritize life safety while also emphasizing the importance of implementing robust security measures, such as surveillance systems, controlled access points, and emergency response plans all while maintaining building, fire, and life safety code compliance.
The school safety and security approach continually adapts to emerging threats when promoting a collaborative partnership among security and commercial hardware consultants, architects, school authorities, parents, local communities, law enforcement, and regulatory agencies.
