Marmaduke School District has added 28 new security cameras to their campuses, which school officials say will help increase safety and security.

Before adding the new cameras, there were only four cameras monitoring the district’s schools. The new surveillance cameras cover every entrance and hallway in the district and can be monitored 24 hours a day.

District administrators will be able to view the camera feeds from their computers and their phones, according to Superintendent Keith Richey.

“We want to do everything we can so that our parents and our students understand that we’re going to have the best security system and that their kids when they come to this campus are going to be safe,” Richey said.

The Marmaduke Police Department can also access the video feeds.

According to Richey, the new surveillance cameras were paid for using money from a millage passed by voters a few years ago.

  • Rethinking Campus Security From the Inside

    For decades, campus security strategies focused on keeping threats outside school walls. But since the tragedy at Columbine High School, data has shown that many attacks begin inside the building, often in classrooms and corridors. This shift has prompted schools to rethink security from the inside and place greater emphasis on interior elements such as classroom doors. This shift is evidenced by a new generation of classroom door systems engineered to delay inside intruders and an ASTM standard that raises the bar on how these systems must be designed to defend against attack.
