The Newark Board of Education’s Office of Safety and Security Command Center has recently implemented remote camera access for 58 schools, allowing for real-time monitoring and remote surveillance footage retrieval. This initiative not only boosts security measures but also promotes a safe learning environment for students, providing peace of mind for parents and staff.
Moreover, classroom emergency procedure booklets have been distributed District-wide to equip teachers with essential guides for handling emergencies efficiently. This move underscores the District's dedication to preparedness and proactive safety measures.
Furthermore, 60 school buildings now have operational alarms, with the rest scheduled for completion by July 1, 2024. The completion of these alarm projects will further enhance NBOE's infrastructure, ensuring the safety and well-being of its educational community.
