School districts should re-evaluate the lack of secure fencing on all school campuses and present a report to their respective boards by December 31, 2018, outlining their plans to make campuses more secure. (F.2, F.3) Response to R.2.: All of our schools have perimeter fencing with one entry point. Information on our school safety features are presented to our Board on a regular basis, provided to parents through letters home, and identified on our website. School districts should implement procedures to ensure that all campuses maintain a complete, daily log (electronic

or manual) of every visitor and volunteer entering and exiting the campus, excluding program events such as awards ceremonies or stage or musical productions. (F.4.) Response to R.3.: All of our sites utilize a visitor sign-in system that requires all adults enter through the school office. Those visitors or volunteers who wish to go on campus are required to produce a valid government-issued ID (driver's license or ID card) and are screened against the registered sex offender databases in all fifty states and provided with a visitor ID badge prior to entering the campus. Electronic logs of all visits, with name, date, time in and time out, are maintained.

Response to R.8.: The visitor sign-in system utilized in Savanna is equipped with immediate alerts, sent via text message to District and site-level administrators in real time, when a person's ID produces a 'red flag' when attempting to enter a school campus. District administrators are immediately dispatched to the site to assist. All sites are equipped with the ability to put the school into an immediate lock down and notify law enforcement should an unauthorized person attempt to enter the campus.

SUE JOHNSON SUPERINTENDENT Savanna School District October 4, 2017 1330 SOUTH KNOTT AVENUE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA 92804-4798 TO: Savanna Staff PHONE: (714) 236-3800 FROM: Administrative Team RE: School Safety As we reflect on the incidents that have occurred in and around our extended community over the past week, it's important to know that we take our commitment to students, staff and our community safety very seriously. We have consistently undertaken measures to ensure the safety of our schools in the past and will continue to do so. While we want our campuses to be welcoming and inviting places, we have an obligation to provide the safest possible environment for our students and staff members. With the understanding that no community is immune from a tragic incident, the District has worked systematically to ensure that each school campus is as safe as possible. In an effort to continue to ensure the safety of all of our campuses, we have implemented the following measures at all of our sites: Perimeter Fencing—Perimeter fencing with a 1" mesh has been installed throughout each campus. Single Point of Entry-Access to each campus is limited to one access point; the entry gate is monitored each morning by an adult to ensure visitors are directed to check in through the office. Security Cameras - Security cameras have been installed throughout each campus; while there is no audio and no cameras inside classrooms, these cameras have proven to be extremely useful in helping deter crime. Visitor Check in System—This system enhances school security by reading visitor drivers' licenses, comparing the information to a sex offender database, alerting campus administrators if a match is found; if no match was found, a visitor badge is printed that includes a photo. All visitors on a school site are to have a visitor badge. Staff ID Badges-Staff members will be asked to wear their Savanna School District ID badge while on school campuses. Lanyards or clips will be available from the school office to allow staff to display the badge. Paging Systems—Each site is equipped with a paging system that can be accessed from any site phone to make announcements or place the site into a 'secure campus' mode. Paging Gates-In order to allow access to before and after school child care programs, each campus has been equipped with one identified paging system that is controlled by staff in those programs to open specific gates. Emergency Notification Systems-Each classroom has a 'panic button' that can be utilized in an emergency to open an immediate line of communication with the school office. Notification Systems - Each office has a system in place that will allow staff to send a silent alarm to the 911 dispatcher in the event of an emergency. Classroom Door Locks-Each classroom has exterior doors that can be locked from the inside, alleviating the need to open the door to lock it. Enhanced Fire Alarm Systems—During the modernization projects at sites, the fire alarm systems were enhanced, updated and are fully automated and monitored. Increased Security Lighting—After hours, each campus is lit with security lighting to ensure the continued safety and security of those working and to deter crime. Remote Locking Doors - Each school office will be equipped with the ability for staff to remotely lock the front entry door in the event of an emergency or unwanted visitor; this is complete at Hansen and nearly complete at all other sites. Security Film on Front Windows - Safety & security film has been installed on the front windows and doors of each site to deter break-ins and impede unwanted entry when the front doors are locked. Monitored Security Systems – Each site has a security system that is monitored after hours and on weekends. Park Ranger Patrols-Through the Anaheim Police Department, Park Rangers patrol campuses on weekends and holidays. Partnership with Local Police Departments - Safety at each school has been enhanced through established relationships with our local police departments. Because student and staff safety are paramount, we are continually assessing the safety and security needs of our campuses. Together, we will be able to continue to ensure our schools are safe and secure learning environments.
