The campbell county school district, in partnership with the alexandria police department, the campbell county police department, the campbell county emergency management department and the kentucky center for school safe, proudly presents the protective measures against school vulnerability- enhancing existing security through coordinated use of personnel, two-way radio communications and window safety film project. This project will benefit the campbell county school district located in northern kentucky within congressional district KY-4. The goals of this project include: 1.) to continue a coordinated approach to improving school safety and security throughout the district through the addition of a school safety and student affairs coordinator 2.) to provide improved direct communication among administrative staff, law enforcement and emergency responders through a communication upgrade to 900 MHZ motorola radio repeaters and portable radio hardware and 3.) to provide access to security enhancing technology through the use of window safety film. Positive outcomes will include improved school climate andand academic achievement as students and staff are learning and working in a safe, healthy and welcoming environment. The school safety student affairs coordinator will oversee evidence-based school safety and support programs within our district. By having a point person at the helm of school safety, we will vastly improve school safety while promoting a positive learning environment for all students. Adding a school safety student affairs coordinator will allow US to integrate the work of our student support teams with school violence prevention. Our school safety student affairs coordinator will assist with the tracking and analysis of threat assessment data, resiliency/risk survey data, and student discipline data while informing the district school safety team of next steps. By having a school safety expert at the table, we can better inform social, emotional and behavioral supports with a guided focus on avoiding criminalizing school conduct while initiating restorative discipline practices. The upgrade of our two-way communication system district-wide provides a significant improvement in security by allowing US to utilize state of the art communication within our buildings as well as with local law enforcement, fire and emergency management personnel in the event of an emergency.two-way radios are the centerpiece of an effective safety plan, and allow for schools/district, law enforcement and emergency personnel to stay in contact during emergencies and with greater reception and reliability than cell phones. The window safety films to be installed on all first floor windows across the district are designed to mitigate hazards from shattered class due to natural or human causes. The film holds broken glass together hindering anyone trying to break and enter through a broken door or window while buying US time for emergency response teams to get to the scene to restrain unwanted visitors and allows school staff time to activate safety protocols.
