doors in the front offices, which separated the public lobby from a school and electronically allowed people in and out. Ballistic material also was put in as well as a camera system that is now at all the schools. Prior, cameras were only on middle and high school campuses, Mr. Migliorino said.
He went on to explain increasing the front counters to 42 inches high is to minimize the ability to easily jump over them.
Film also would be placed on the office windows.
“We can see someone coming but they can’t see what we do inside,” he said.
Coupled with a monitor hooked to a camera showing the outside entrance to the campus, employees would be able to see if someone is acting suspicious and immediately lock the door to prevent entry into the lobby, headded.
All the security measures were recommendations from a liaison from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, according to Mr. Migliorino.
Four campus sites, including Arrowhead Elementary School in Glendale, are not included in phase 2 because they will receive the upgrades when they undergo modernization improvements.
Arrowhead Elementary School is one of four Deer Valley Unified School District campuses that will not see phase 2 security upgrades this summer. Those will come at Arrowhead when the campus undergoes modernization improvements.
