As of late, Coral Springs Charter has made multiple changes regarding the school’s security.
The most notable one being the new missing ID stickers. In addition to carrying around the uniform violation ticket, students now have to put the name and date on a bright orange sticker when they forget or lose their ID.
There have also been new adjustments made to the fire drill procedures, so faculty and staff can make sure that the only ones getting in the school are students. Rather than students going outside and coming back in on their own, teachers now have to make sure their class is all together and take attendance once they are in their designated areas. After ensuring all students are outside with their teachers, each class returns to their classroom in a single file line to have their attendance taken again.
“The biggest issue is really making sure that the adults stay on their toes.” said Principal Mr. Springer, “You could have a million processes and procedures, but they’re as good as the people that follow them.”
For these past few months, security improvements have been the administration’s top priority. Faculty and staff will continue to remain vigilant for any threats or intruders that may imperil the school.
