: The District somewhat agrees with this finding. The extent to which our District can implement the type and extent of security measures is often dependent on funding, although with our Bond Measure we have been able to make physical changes. As it is a priority, District funds have also been used to send administrative staff members to the Annual Safe Schools Conference, purchase the Raptor Visitor Check-in software and hardware for each school site, and purchase a District App that allows students and staff members to report suspicious behavior anonymously through the App.

: The recommendation requires further analysis. The recommendation assumes that secure fencing on all school campuses is a guarantee of student and staff member safety. Without proof of such an assurance, the recommendation will not be implemented because it is not warranted and is not reasonable. The Board of Trustees will discuss the issue and make the appropriate determination of need.

: The District agrees with this finding. Of the schools within our District, six of the seven high schools can be considered to reflect an "open and inviting" atmosphere. The campuses do not have fencing surrounding 100% of the campus and do not have a single point of
Response of Fullerton Joint Union High School District June 26, 2018 Page 2 entry. It is still the opinion of District leadership that additional fencing and a single point of entry may create a sense of security, but in looking at previous incidents of school violence, it is not always the best defense.
