In today’s education climate, there are far too many stressors: miscommunication, deadlines, budgets, poor student performance, and the increasing chance of school violence.
There are other things that also cause extreme stress. It’s the things that happen when your teachers, students and staff are not on site. Think break-ins, theft, and property damage.
When your teachers, students and staff feel safe at school, they will be more productive. On the other hand, when they feel physically unsafe at school, productivity, as well as trust, quickly decreases and can be hard to earn back.
While much of the emphasis on school security is correctly geared towards the protection of the students and staff while the school is open, it’s easy to lose sight of securing your facilities when the building is closed.
To avoid being vulnerable when the school is closed, take time to look at how you are protecting your facility’s assets. You’ve made large investments in technology, iPads, computers, and furnishings. The need to ensure your assets are protected from theft and break-in is critical.
