Safer Schools - What Can We Do?*

Response to Recommendation 4: The recommendation has not yet been implemented, but will be implemented for the 2018-2019 school year. See response to # 3 above. Follow up Response: With the implementation of the RAPTOR Visitor/Volunteer Management System at all 16 school sites in October 2018, every visitor/volunteer must scan some type of identification into the RAPTOR System before being issued a visitor or volunteer badge. This system scans for and provides alerts to the office staff for potential sex offenders and as well as any custom custody alerts. Once scanned and processed a visitor or volunteer badge is issued. Every visitor or volunteer must wear the identifiable badge while on campus. All school employees are required to wear an identification badge, and have been trained to look for the RAPTOR visitor or volunteer badge being worn by those who are not employees. Recommendation 8: School districts should consider requiring that all campus incidents of unauthorized access be recorded, tracked, and reported to the district office on a quarterly basis. All districts should share these reports with the Orange County Department of Education. (F.8.) Response to Recommendation 8: Ocean View School District has not implemented this recommendation. The District will implement a process to track incidents. If requested by the Orange County Department of Education (OCDE), the District will adhere to any and all guidelines required by the OCDE. Follow up Response: Since the installation of the RAPTOR System in October 2018, every person on any Ocean View School District campus should have identification. If a visitor or volunteer is seen without an 10 10 2017-2018 Orange County Grand Jury Report Safer Schools - What Can We Do? Follow up Response of Ocean View School District November 16, 2018 Follow up Response to Recommendation 8 continued: identification badge, they are escorted to the school office to be scanned and badged. Once a school's fencing project has been completed with a single point of school entry, there will only be one way into the site and one way out, prohibiting any unofficial entry. Should there be an incident of an unwanted/unapproved visitor, the school site will alert key personnel at the District Office, as well as the police department if necessary. An incident report would be generated by the school site and forwarded to the District Office. A report will be shared with the Orange County Department of Education as required.
