THE TUSTIN UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT (TUSD) IS REQUESTING SUPPORT IN STRENGTHENING THE LAYERS OF CAMPUS SECURITY PRESENT ACROSS OUR TWENTY EIGHT CAMPUSES. TUSD HAS WORKED WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT PARTNERS (TUSTIN PD, OC SHERRIFF'S DEPT, IRVINE PD) FOR YEARS TO MAKE SURE SITES HAVE SINGLE POINTS OF ENTRY, LOCK BLOCKS IN PLACE ON ALL CLASSROOM DOORS, STAFF TRAINING FOR INTRUDERS, STOP THE BLEED TRAININGS IN THE EVENT OF A TRAGEDY, AND WE-TIP SYSTEMS TO REPORT POTENTIAL ISSUES. TUSD HAS ALSO PARTNERED WITH OUR POLICING AGENCIES AND KNOWLEDGE SAVES LIVES STAFF IN ORDER TO CREATE COMPREHENSIVE SAFE SCHOOL PLANS. WITH THAT SAID, OUR PARTNERS HAVE HELPED US TO IDENTIFY ADDITIONAL PIECES THAT MAY MAKE OUR CAMPUSES EVEN SAFER. WHILE WE WOULD CONTINUE WITH THE LAYERS OF SAFETY IDENTIFIED ABOVE, TUSD IS SEEKING FUNDING TO PURSURE PILOT PROGRAMS TO EXPLORE ADDITIONAL SAFE GUARDS LIKE SECURTY CAMERAS, AUTOMATED DOOR LOCKING SYSTEMS ON ALL COMMON DOORS, PANIC BUTTON SYSTEMS TO BOTH SECURE DOORS AS WELL AS STREAMLINE COMMUNICATION TO THOSE WHO CAN ASSIST, AS WELL AS ADDING WINDOW FILMS IN PLACES TO REDUCE VISIBILITY INTO CLASSROOMS WITHOUT COMPLETELY COVERING WINDOWS. TUSD ALREADY HAS A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT IN SECURITY AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE AT OUR SITES, AND THIS WILL CONTINUE. HOWEVER, WE ARE SEEKING ASSISTANCE FROM THE COPS SVPP PROGRAM IN PILOTING THE AFOREMENTIONED SYSTEMS AT ONE SCHOOL SITE (IDENTIFIED FOR HAVING BOTH PHYSICAL STRUCTURES AND SECURITY CONCERNS THAT ARE SIMILAR TO THE MAJORITY OF OUR CAMPUSES) WITH THE INTENTION OF SCALING THE SUCCESSFUL COMPONENTS TO ALL SITES IN THE FOLLOWING YEARS. WE FEEL THIS METHOD OF STUDYING BEST PRACTICES, PILOTING OPTIONS, ANALYZING THE POSITIVES AND NEGATIVES OF PILOT SYSTEMS, AND THEN USING LOCAL FUNDS WISELY TO SCALE SUCCESSFUL SYSTEMS IS THE MOST RESPONSIBLE WAY TO ADVANCE SAFETY ACROSS TUSD.
