Security Initiatives
As our school grows both institutionally and physically, we must also grow in the areas of security and safety. We will strive to continuously meet the following goals:
- FCDS will strive to provide a safe and secure campus for all students, staff, families and community;
- FCDS will provide continuing education to faculty, staff and students of all safety and drill procedures to effectively act in the event of an emergency;
- FCDS will maintain a close working relationship with local law and safety enforcement agencies;
- FCDS will develop and implement a “state of the art” surveillance system to increase the level of security to the highest degree.

The following campus and staff needs will be necessary to achieve the above goals:
- Increase surveillance of entrance and exit gates by controlling access during specific hours of operation;
- Hire trained and certified security officer to patrol campus;
- Establish a crisis response plan implementing monthly emergency drills and education of evacuation procedures;
- Upgrade present school-wide communication system using cellular and 2-way radio transmissions;
- Hire law enforcement officers for athletic, extra-curricular and facilities rental events;
- Maintain and upgrade present campus lighting and alarm systems and provide additional coverage as campus needs increase (i.e. future buildings and athletic fields, etc.);
- Implement new web-based system of electronic door locks throughout the campus that will enable us to better control after-hours access to buildings. This will also limit the number of doors through which visitors can enter during the day;
- Increase and expand the present surveillance camera system with a web based and high-quality digital color system;
Provide continuing education and certification for the Director of Security.
