The Security Reality in K-12 Schools
K-12 schools are expected to be open, welcoming environments—but they also face rising safety expectations from parents, staff, and the community. Campus layouts are complex, budgets are tight, and security responsibilities are often shared across IT, facilities, and administration.
Common challenges include:
- Uncontrolled visitor access to front offices and side doors
- Limited visibility into who is on campus and why
- Siloed security tools that don’t “talk” to each other
- Cyber risks to student information systems and classroom technology
- Poor coordination during lockdowns or emergency events
- Limited staff available to monitor multiple systems
