The Johnson County School Board reported progress on a five‑year safety objective and described newly purchased student‑monitoring and filtering tools intended to improve security and classroom engagement.

Board members said the district is upgrading camera systems at all schools using a COPS grant written in coordination with the sheriff’s office. "We were able to upgrade all of our camera systems," a board member said when summarizing the five‑year plan objective to "update, expand, and maintain security systems in all schools and in all school district facilities."

District staff also described HIPARA, a program purchased for teachers that ties student Chromebook sign‑ins to a teacher view. "Students sign in to their Chromebooks when they're using our technology devices. Once they are signed in, the teachers can pull up their class, and they ... can watch in real time what students are doing," a staff member identified as Angie said. Angie said HIPARA is aimed at keeping students engaged as well as improving safety.

The district also uses a filtering component described in the meeting as a separate program (referred to in the record as "Del Deo") that monitors the network when students are logged on and flags questionable entries so administrators can review and, if needed, follow up with students and families.

Board members said administrators log flagged items daily; some flags were benign (song searches) but others prompted staff to contact students' families for follow up. The board framed these measures as part of broader safety improvements on the district's five‑year plan.

No vote or policy change was recorded on the monitoring program during the meeting; the presentation was an information update that the board said will continue as part of security and technology oversight.
