Community members, parents, students and staff in the Re-2 school district will notice a change to security at schools next week.
On Monday, all 10 Re-2 schools and the district office will begin using the Aiphone security systems at the main entrance.
The Aiphone has a video camera, a speaker and a door lock release system. The main entrances for all schools will be locked, and the front office staff will be able to welcome guests and partners. The new system helps to protect schools from unwanted visitors.
“One of the points that our schools board wanted as part of our facilities master planning document was an emphasis on safety,” Director of Communications/GrantsTheresa Hamilton said.
