Due to the $90,000 worth of damaged and stolen property since August, Sunnyside Unified School District is installing more security cameras, alarms and tracking devices for all school laptops.They are also hiring more security guards. The district will be using $300,000 from insurance for the upgrades.
Upgrades include consolidating security companies and installing new cameras. The district uses several companies to operate their alarm systems, but will now use one; and starting in January, the district will test security cameras and make a recommendation to the board about whether or not to use the equipment.
