Why Texas Schools Need a Modern Access Control Solution

Many aspects of schools have been modernized, from HVAC systems to technology, yet many schools still lack updated security methods. According to the National Center on Education Statistics, one in four U.S. public schools don’t have classroom doors that can be locked from the interior. Traditional locks and keys are a problem. With this system of security, it’s on the teacher to remember, “Did I lock the door?” or “Do I have my key?” Teachers have enough to concern themselves with on any given day. 

The solution to this concern is modern access control that provides schools with security, flexibility, and real-time management. Verkada’s Access Control system, available from ASAP Security Services, is advanced technology designed for schools.

Why Schools Need to Modernize Security

Simply put, outdated security methods create risks. Lost keys, unauthorized entry, and slow emergency responses put students and staff in danger. Doors that can be easily accessed or locked are essential when there’s an emergency of any kind. A modern Access Control system like Verkada’s solves these challenges by:

• Providing Remote Management: Doors and user permissions can be updated in real time from anywhere. In the event of an emergency, administrators can instantly update access settings.
• Managing Multiple Locations: With a centralized management system, school districts can oversee all campuses in one place, ensuring consistent security measures across buildings. This also helps with shared staff, who would no longer require multiple sets of keys to go from building to building.
• Boosted Security at Entrances: Modern access systems use the latest technology to ensure quick, reliable entry for authorized individuals while keeping unauthorized visitors out.
• One-Tap Lockdown: Schools can lock down buildings instantly to protect students and staff in an emergency.
