5 February 2014 Germantown School District INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study is to analyze the general state of facility security and recommend improvements as necessary. This study is intended to provide the Germantown School District a sound basis for making decisions necessary to plan and implement cost effective improvements. Recommendations offered are limited to building security only and does not address site elements beyond the immediate building perimeter. Detailed development of the specific recommendations is necessary prior to implementation by the District. Plunkett Raysich Architects (PRA) visited each building in the Germantown School District to identify existing security features as part of this study. Those existing features as well as recommended modifications are documented on the proceeding diagrams. The proceeding diagrams identify three primary elements: 1. Overall building security features that include cameras, electronic door access and exterior communications equipment such as intercoms. 2. Building compartmentalization opportunities. 3. Secure entry sequence modifications. It should be emphasized that this study is limited in scope to physical security elements. Staff training and other personnel considerations are critical to any overall security plan and should be reviewed along with the facilities themselves. This information should be part of an overall crisis management plan prepared and managed by the Germantown School District. SECURITY FEATURES The elements identified below describe the recommended typical arrangement and their intended contribution to the overall security strategy. Secure Entry Sequence A secure entry sequence is currently present at some facilities. The intent of the secure entry sequence is to force visitors to check in and identify themselves with a front office staff member before being allowed into the school. All other entry doors to the school are to be locked during the school day. At the start and end of each school day, exterior and interior doors are unlocked permitting the free flow of students. Entry doors are monitored by staff while open. Card readers allow staff access through both sets of doors when locked. During normal school hours, the exterior vestibule doors are unlocked. The interior entry vestibule doors and the office entry door within the vestibule are locked. Visitors to the school must ring the administrative office via intercom located inside the vestibule. Administrative staff is able to address the visitor on their computer screens and have direct visual contact. Once accepted by staff, the office doors are released via electronic lock and the visitor is allowed into the office to proceed to the reception desk where he or she is required to sign in. After signing in, a second locked leading from the office into the school is released by the staff by pushing a button located at the reception desk. The visitor is then allowed to proceed into the school. Security Cameras Security cameras are a tool to identify and record activities around the building perimeter, at main building entry points and along primary interior circulation routes. Cameras allow District staff to identify unauthorized individuals and address security issues quickly. A comprehensive camera system can also help staff and first responders locate and monitor events within the facility and coordinate security action. Compartmentalization Compartmentalization allows a school to be broken up into smaller secure areas in the event an intruder was to get past the secure entry. The intent of compartmentalization is to add barriers that slow down the intruder giving both staff and first responder s additional time to react. Compartmentalization doors should be added strategically within primary building circulation routes to limit access in the event of an incident. Compartmentalization locations are selected based on the assumption that a security event would begin at the building s secure entrance and move forward from that point. Doors are typically held open on magnetic holds. During an event, a panic button can he pressed in the front office which releases the doors to swing shut and lock in the direction of travel away from the front office. Doors have panic hardware on the opposite side allowing free egress per code requirements. Classroom Door Hardware Classroom lock sets are capable of being locked with a key from both the corridor side and the classroom side. The ability to lock from the classroom side gives staff greater security in by allowing them to remain completely inside Page 3 Facilities Security Study

Panic Buttons Panic buttons silently notify police of a situation at the school when pressed. These are typically located at the front reception desk and within a principal s office. Door Position Switches While implementing a secure entry sequence and keeping all other exterior doors locked will prevent intrusion from the outside, door position switches tied to the building security system can help limit the potential for an individual being let in from the inside. A door position switch can be installed into existing exterior doors and frames and tied to a notification system should a door be opened or left ajar. Page 4 Facilities Security Study

7 February 2014 Germantown School District AMY BELLE ELEMENTARY Existing Security Elements Secure Entry Sequence: Amy Belle does not have a functioning secure entry sequence. At the start and end of each school day, exterior and interior doors are unlocked permitting the free flow of students. Entry doors are monitored by staff while open. Card readers allow staff access through both sets of doors when locked. During normal school hours, both the exterior and interior entry vestibule doors are locked. Visitors to the school must ring the administrative office via intercom. Once accepted by staff, the exterior doors are released via electronic lock and the visitor is let into the school. Visitors are expected to proceed to the office to sign in but no physical barrier limits travel into the general school area. Security Cameras: Amy Belle Elementary does not currently have any security cameras installed. Compartmentalization: The building does not currently have provisions for compartmentalization. Classroom Door Hardware: vestibule should be replaced with a new frame, electric strikes, a remote release and key FOB access on the office side. Free entrance from the corridor side into the office should be allowed. Security Cameras: Nine (9) security cameras should be added to the exterior of the building allowing complete monitoring of the building perimeter. Seven (7) interior security cameras should also be added to primary corridors to allow for monitoring of circulation within the building. Compartmentalization: Compartmentalization doors should be added strategically within primary building circulation routes to limit access in the event of an incident. Compartmentalization locations are selected based on the assumption that a security event would begin at the building s secure entrance and move forward from that point. Doors are typically held open on magnetic holds. During an event, a panic button can he pressed in the front office which releases the doors to swing shut and lock in the direction of travel away from the front office. Doors have panic hardware on the opposite side allowing free egress per code requirements. Classroom Door Hardware: Classroom door locksets should be changed to allow locking with a key from the room side. Classroom doors typically do not have locksets capable of locking with a key from the room side. Proposed Security Enhancements Secure Entry Sequence: An office reorganization and potential expansion is required to allow for a proper secure entry sequence to be installed. The interior vestibule doors should have electric strikes added that are tied to building automation controls allowing for automated locking and unlocking of the doors at preset times of the day. A door within the vestibule should be added into the office. This door should have electric strikes, a remote release, key FOB access and an intercom that communicates with the reception desk. The remote door release button should be located at the reception desk. The existing office entry door on the interior side of the Page 5 Facilities Security Study
