WHATS NEW
P.R.I.D.E. Initiative
Priority Recognition Increased Data & Efficiency. This program is now being piloted in ten schools, (4) four high school, and (6) six K-8. The two main components of the program are the visitor management segment and the student ID segment. This program will be a great example of the importance of hardware and humanware working together.
The visitor management segment manages identification, and screening of visitors. The system will verify visitor(s) identities by scanning the driver’s license or state identification. It will issue visitor badges with the name and picture of the visitor. All staff, students and visitors will wear some form of identification. The system will also issue an alert if a “high risk” visitor should enter a building.
The student ID displays CMSD’s logo with an up-to-date picture of the student. Each ID includes a bar code that will be swiped for logging various activities and transactions. They can be used to increase efficiency in the cafeteria, media center, hallways and dealing with tardy students. A handheld device will be used to assist with gathering climate data and tracking some discipline issues.
The features of this system will also allow everyone at the pilot schools to account for ALL individuals who enter our facilities. We want our students, staff, and community to be proud that we are using technology as an additional tool to assist us with operating more efficiently in our quest to educate our children to the best of our ability. Let’s show that PRIDE!
