1. Perimeter Security Enhancements:

• Strategic placement of surveillance cameras at high-risk areas, such as parking lots, playgrounds, and blind spots around the campus perimeter.
• Use of motion-sensor lighting and alert systems to detect and deter unauthorized access during non-operational hours.

1. Digital Safety Framework:

• Deployment of a secure digital infrastructure to monitor network activity, prevent data breaches, and protect sensitive information.
• Continuous monitoring for signs of cyberbullying, inappropriate content, and other digital threats affecting the student body.
