Given the current gun (and) other violence climate across the U.S. (against schools in particular), the tiverton school department is proactive in preventing an incident(S) within our schools by strengthening security at all five (5) of the district's aging schools (3 elementary, 1 middle school, 1 high school). The district hopes to accomplish this by installing/improving/upgrading physical building access and various forms of electronic monitoring. Specifically, tiverton is seeking funds for the following safety and security projects: 1) install and integrate security cameras and electronic door (CARD) access controls at all five schools 2) replace security alarm control panels at all five schools 3) add "security film" to windows enclosing secure vestibules at two elementary schools and the high school 4) create secure vestibule ("man-trap") at the third elementary school 5) create secure vestibule ("man-trap") at the middle school
