Enhanced Security Measures Underway at RCS Schools to Safeguard Our Students and Staff

The RCS community is being updated on new safety measures being implemented in its educational facilities. The administration is committed to ensuring the safety of both staff and students by following state guidelines and working with local and state police. These actions are part of a larger plan to improve security across the school district.

Recent updates include enhancements to the camera systems in elementary schools, which now offer better surveillance. Although the installation is still in progress, some parts of the system are already functional. These cameras, equipped with recording and live monitoring features, are managed by building leaders and school resource officers to monitor the school surroundings.

Future plans include similar updates to the camera systems at the Middle School and High School. It is noted that camera placement is carefully considered to maintain privacy in sensitive areas.

Other security measures at RCS include strict visitor sign-in processes, electronic badge systems for staff, and regular emergency drills, such as lockdowns and evacuations. Staff are trained in crisis management and in supporting students who may need extra assistance.
