Why Security is Essential for Cedargrove Elementary

As schools become increasingly complex environments, the need for comprehensive safety strategies is critical. Cedargrove Elementary, like many schools, faces unique security challenges that must be addressed proactively to ensure student and staff well-being. These challenges include:

• Maintaining a Secure Campus Perimeter: With open campus designs and multiple entry points, it is crucial to establish and monitor secure perimeters to prevent unauthorized access.
• Emergency Preparedness: Schools need to be equipped not just for common disruptions but also for critical incidents such as intruder threats, natural disasters, or health emergencies.
• Digital Safety and Cybersecurity: With the integration of technology in classrooms, safeguarding digital assets and student information is essential to prevent cyber threats and ensure data privacy.
