...K-6 School Administration Entry In our current society we have seen an increase of violence at current education centers throughout the United States. School facilities are now easy targets for unstable individuals or groups of people who prey on easy targets for national and world recognition through media sources. One of the projects that I will be addressing with bond monies this year is making a K-6 School Administration entrance secure. Fifteen years ago when threats to society were at a minimal, the marketing and architectural designs were to build entrances that were community friendly. This issue is that the entry area is open with no control points that prevent entry and security to the staff and children. Risk Avoidance Altogether * Entrance to the school will receive CCTV (Closed Circuit Television and Video) monitoring 24 hours per day of entry area and internal lobby. * Badged entry into the front lobby after hours. * Design of new lobby entry that can trap all visitors into a holding point. * Bathroom access from lobby for public use. * Installation of Raptor Visitor management Software that will provide instant sex offender and background checks to prevent unwanted visitors out while tracking those they allow in. * Security system for entrance to prevent unwanted intruders after hours * Motion sensors for lighting that will activate after hours so responding officials can visually see the intruder. * Secure entrance into the...

...ABSTRACT Productivity maybe the central problem for education and educational research for the remainder of this decade. Failure to deal successfully with this issue must inevitably lead to continued reduction of in the real income of teachers and the loss of competent teachers to higher- salaried jobs. The result will be declines in student achievement, followed by lagging economic growth for the nation. Some early signs of these are already visible. Unfortunately, we presently lack the empirical tools needed to improve productivity. In the short term, educational policy makers must be guided by experience, judgement, and opportunity. Options include larger classes, reduction in administrative staff, reduction in nonessential instructional and extra curricular activities, delayed and smaller increases in teachers salaries, and the substitution of lower- cost capital inputs, say TV, for higher-cost labor inputs. Providing information to education policy makers on the productivity implications of these options is a task for educational research. The key to productivity improvement in every other economic sector has been technological innovation. Effective application of modern technology in schools therefore a critical subject for research. CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Few doubt that information technology (IT) has the potential to enhance teaching and learning, there is no agreement on how that technology should be used to boost academic productivity--or...
