All about school safety and security
By Monty Siekerman
Safety and security are paramount in a school, so three mothers got together to spearhead a project called BOOTS for Bulldogs for the Ada Schools. The school system has instituted several policies and procedures to make the school campus as safe as possible.
The BOOTS for Bulldogs adds another level of safety for each classroom. So far, $11,500 out of a goal of $44,000 has been raised to keep danger out and allow safety in.
Mothers heading up the drive are Kristin Purdy, Hillary Buxton, and Amanda Henson.
Simplicity is The BOOTS strength. It can be put in place on a classroom door at a moment’s notice by anyone of any age.
In addition, the program includes rapid response placards, which are 3D, reflective and visible regardless of hall length. This assures immediate response whether advising a parent, student, visitor, or tactical response team of a room number.
For more information, go to BOOTS for Bulldogs Facebook page. For more about the company that sells the item, go to thelockdownco.com.
