2024/25 Security Enhancements at SEL

Beginning in the 2024/25 school year, South Euclid Lyndhurst School District is implementing a new weapons detection system.
The weapons detection systems supplied through the Evolv Weapons Detection systems will be installed at Greenview, Memorial, and Brush Schools.
All students and all visitors will be expected to pass through the system prior to entry into the school.
The system is a passive, non-invasive system that is looking for dense metal that might indicate a weapon.
If the system detects dense metal that might be a weapon, it will alert the operator that a secondary inspection is required.
A secondary inspection will only inspect the alerted area indicated through the machine.
If the indicated area is on the individual's body, a handheld metal detector will be used to clear the alert.
If the alerted area is on a student's backpack, the backpack will be searched with visual along with a manual inspection.
Because of the nature of the Chromebook, Chromebooks can set the system off.
Brush will institute a pass around system, meaning you will hand your Chromebook to an administrator or security guard standing by. At Greenview and Memorial,
Chromebooks will be raised in the air as you pass through.
This is a non invasive system that does not affect medical implements, pacemakers, or pregnancy.
Also this year at Brush High School we are implementing the Yondr Pouch.
Each student will be assigned a Yondr Pouch.
That student will be expected to place their cell phone, smartwatch, and earbuds in the pouch and lock it. At the end of the day, the unlocking mechanism will be available for the student to unlock their pouch as they depart for the day.
Thank you for your cooperation in this as we implement a new system to help make our school system and district safer.
Everybody's cooperation is greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to the board office or my security office.
Thank you again.
