No. 24

We are updating our list of currently authorized personnel who have after-hour and weekend access. As always, we require that all staff members who enter a school site after hours must call the School Police Department. The current password system utilizing a school-generated pass number is being phased out and will no longer be accepted after October 15, 2000. Our new system will use a 7-digit pass code, which will consist of the 3-digit location code number followed by the approved personnel's last 4 digits of their social security number. Our new system will provide the ability to track all entry/exit activity within the district and run historical reports that can search site specific or personnel specific activity.

Attached is an Excel spreadsheet form for you to list designated staff members who are allowed on your site after hours and on weekends. We request you return this completed form to us no later than Friday, September 29, 2000, either by e-mail, fax (619-295-5074) or district mail. New Protected Premises Pass cards will be issued prior to October 15, 2000, and sent to your site. Our statistics have shown that administrators who limit the number of people who have access to a facility after hours, generally have greater overall security.

Our School Police Communication personnel remain committed to the protection of students, staff and property. The Communications Center is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and may be reached at (619) 291-7678 or, in case of an emergency, (619) 291-9911.

If you have any questions, please contact Julie Shannon at (619) 725-7021.
