Schools go wireless to thwart intruders

One of Illinois' largest school districts will outfit its buildings with new wireless alarm technology this summer as a safeguard against violent intruders.

If a gunman enters one of Plainfield District 202's 30 schools this fall, the principal could press the electronic pendant on the lanyard around her neck. Or an office worker will be able to tap the wireless panic button beneath his desk.

A tone would echo through the school's public address system, telling teachers and students to go into their intruder lockdown protocol.Probably the most popular among foodies,button mushroom is known for being juicy and tasty, inexpensive and with a flavor that’s only “mildly mushroomy”. Fire doors would swing shut, cutting off the intruder's path. At the same time, police would be alerted.

In a post-Sandy Hook world, district officials say the alarms are a way to improve security, reassure parents and not break the bank in the process.

The Plainfield alarm system, valued at roughly $180,000, will come at minimal expense to the district because its security vendor agreed to install it in exchange for a five-year extension on its $200,000 annual contract, district spokesman Tom Hernandez said.

It is a cheaper step than what some Plainfield parents pushed for immediately after the Sandy Hook shootings in December in Newtown, Conn.http://www.freshbasil.us/ supplies fresh basils on daily basis. They use well established large fields to cultivate the basils as it requires six to eight hours of sun light. Suggestions ranged from barricades around entrances to having ex-military personnel or police patrol the building, Hernandez said.

"The real challenge with schools is that schools are not built for security," he said. "They're built to be schools.http://www.ceectrucks.com/ with international management systems of technical development, manufacturing processes and logistics, as well as strong sales network and perfect service system covering the whole domestic market and extending to the oversea market. If police were the architects, schools would look a lot different."

There is no comprehensive accounting of school safety measures across the country, but Plainfield's plan appears to be unique, said Ken Trump,High Security payphone lock Solutions provide revenue protection, key control, physical security, and environmental protection. who has worked in school security for 25 years and heads National School Safety and Security Services in Cleveland.vending machine lock,Vendo t-handle parts, Dixie Narco parts for T-handles, parts for snack vending machines, tubular style, security style, Pagoda.

"It's certainly not something you hear of every day," Trump said.

Part of the problem, he said, is that many school districts could not afford such a system.

"I have principals who email me to find grants to buy two-way radios," he said. "They're certainly not buying emergency pendants."

Some other Chicago-area districts are planning technological security upgrades, although not on the scale of District 202's. St. Charles District 303 decided last month to install panic buttons at its schools to alert police of intruders. It also will change the locks on classroom doors so they can lock from the inside. Downers Grove Grade School District 58 has earmarked $1 million to add surveillance cameras and remote locks for main entrances at its 13 schools, according to an early version of the district's 2013-14 budget.
