R1
(Safety): The Grand Jury recommends that, prior to the start of the 2024-25 school year, each school district identify additional hardening approaches and develop a plan to further protect areas of its schools that remain vulnerable. DJUSD: “When considering school safety, the District considers three primary drivers for school safety, which we believe cannot be viewed in isolation; 1) safety related policies, 2) safety related practices, and 3) safety related physical infrastructure and technology. In the District response, we stated that “To maintain security during school hours, the District has implemented adequate policies and continues to work closely with local law enforcement agencies” as an acknowledgement of the multifaceted reality of school safety.”

The 2022-2023 Grand Jury Investigative Report listed a finding regarding lack of signage on DJUSD campuses. This was particularly important safety feature for DJUSD since several campuses share open spaces or parking lots to which the public has free access. Though DJUSD responded that signage needs have been identified, there was no implementation schedule provided to the Grand Jury. Recommendations by the 2023-2024 Grand Jury:

The California Education Code mandates all school districts require visitors to report to a school’s office upon arrival and wear identification while on school campuses. Signage should be a priority for all DJUSD school sites especially since DJUSD schools share open public spaces. Though DJUSD states it has identified signage needs, the school district should improve the signage on all campuses prior to the start of the 2024-2025 school year and report to the Grand Jury by October 1, 2024. 3 | P age
