Students and Staff Remain Unprotected

Our schools and universities have still not responded to the urgency of recent shootings and threats. There is technology available that can instantly lockdown every classroom door, without peventing free exit, and allow security staff or first responders to enter at will. Movement can be monitored remotely (either students escaping or attackers changing location). This can be installed for under $400 per door -not the $3000 or more that access control companies want to charge. It is a revolutionary new, patented way to handle school lockdown, and it can be done now - today. It is even compatible with any existing access control or security systems the school may have. And it is entirely Internet based, which allows any authority, anywhere, to trigger it, monitor it and control it. It is not new technology, but a new idea on how to use technology that exists. Schools with old access control systems can bring it into the 21st centrury for 10% of the cost of installing new equipment, and do so with zero down-time. I have seen it installed, and I have seen it work. School and university administrators MUST seek out new technology to keep our kids and college students SAFE. If available technology is ignored, more will likely die in our schools, and administratos will be responsible for failing to take precautions.
