District finalizes InformaCast integration, camera updates and five‑year technology plan
Summary
Mr. Schwartzkopf told the board the district moved lockdown and 911 call routing to InformaCast, completed camera software reorganizing and door hookups, and posted a five‑year technology plan to the DISHIP website.
Mr. Schwartzkopf reported on post‑budget facility and security work and said the district finalized an InformaCast rollout tied to lockdown procedures and 911 integration. “Now anytime a 911 call goes out, it comes from InformaCast,” he said, describing the change that centralizes lockdown signalling and emergency call routing.
He described a software overhaul of the camera system (renaming cameras and creating preset views for security and police partners) and confirmed doors have been connected to the system. The district also piloted a hall‑pass system with teachers on May 15 to gather feedback prior to a September rollout and is acquiring hardware (iPads) to respond to teacher concerns.
Mr. Schwartzkopf said a finalized five‑year technology plan has been posted to the DISHIP website and that staff are collecting feedback to make adjustments before full implementation.
Why it matters: The technology and safety changes affect how the district responds to emergencies, how security staff access camera feeds and how teachers will manage hall passes and related hardware.
Board members thanked staff for the behind‑the‑scenes work; no formal board action was recorded in the transcript.
