The Tulare County Grand Jury recommends SCICON implement additional Safety measures such as cameras within the village and security personnel. 8-20-2014 Response: The Tulare County Office of Education, County Superintendent of Schools and SCICON agree with this finding/recommendation. The SCICON campus entrance gate is locked and not opened until maintenance staff is on the premise. There is an assigned Village Coordinator to each cabin area who has access to radios and phones 24/7. Students are not allowed to go out at night alone. Additionally, recent E-rate grants will provide for the establishment of better security cameras placed on SCICON campus. The technical aspects of installing cameras in the future and finding the source to implement a higher level of security are currently being examined. We will make note of all the recommendations suggested for improvements to the safety and security of the SCICON campus. We will be sure we share these recommended improvements. Once again, we extend our gratitude to the Tulare County Grand Jury for their diligent efforts in compiling these findings and recommendations. ÷ Tulare County Office of Education Committed to Students, Support and Service October 3,2014 Jim Vidak County Superintendent Tulare County Grand Jury The Honorable Judge Gary Paden of Schools 5963 South Mooney Boulevard County Civic Center, Room 303 Visalia, CA 93277 221 South Mooney Boulevard 2637 W.
