News4JAX got a first look at Duval County Public Schools' new security system that will allow teachers and staff to immediately notify first responders if a school threat occurs on campus.
Teachers and staff will be issued key cards that track their exact location on campus and notify Duval County school police, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, the school board, the superintendent and all other critical personnel if a school threat has been reported.
News4JAX was the first news media organization to see how the new system works through a demonstration offered at LaVilla School of the Arts. Every classroom, hallway and room inside all Duval County schools and outside areas on campus have special sensors installed in the ceiling that will blink red as part of the Code Red lockdown.
“At the same time, it’s sent to the mobile phones of the police officers that are here on campus, staff that is here at school, cabinet members, superintendent and all the wonderful police officers that work for the district,” explained Culbert.
