Secure
Environments Are Key To A Focused School
One of the principal responsibilities of any school or
university is to provide a safe and secure environment where students
can further their intellectual growth. Likewise, the faculty and other
staff whose work is essential to day-to-day operations should be able to
focus entirely on their duties rather than their safety. The violent
incidents at our nation's schools and universities over the last decade
have driven home an ugly reality. Schools now must secure their
facilities and campuses against not only external dangers, but also
those found from within. These dangers require security strategies that
are innovative, sensible and affordable, according to an article in the
February issue of American School & University, a sister publication of
Access Control & Security Systems.
Today, digital video recording (DVR) technology has revolutionized the
security and surveillance field, and expanded the options available to
education institutions. VCRs with videocassettes once were the standard,
but they required a lot of maintenance and delivered unstable results.

RFID
Technology Keeps Track of School Bus Riders
Seattle-based Zonar Systems has said it is providing
RFID technology to the school bus industry to answer the iconic
1969-television question, "It's 10 p.m. Do you know where your children
are?" The company's patented ZPass system identifies when and where a
student enters or exits the school bus to enhance their safety and
security.
According to Zonar's SVP of Marketing, Bill Brinton, "Safety, security
and accountability are fundamental expectations when children ride
school buses. The industry record is already stellar. But RFID
technology now makes the job easier and gives school bus operators,
school officials and parents the peace of mind that comes from knowing
where their children are while making their trip to and from school."
