| 78 | 2022 | House | Andy Barr | Barr | Andy | B001282 | Republican | KY | Commerce Justice Science | Menifee County School s Security Project | MENIFEE COUNTY SCHOOL S SECURITY PROJECT | Menifee County is a small, rural county in the 6th Congressional District of Eastern Kentucky. With the proposed project, every building in the Menifee County School District will be equipped with a state of the art card access system. Each external door will have a card access monitor that will permit entry into the buildings. This will monitor who entered the building and what time they entered the building. If at any time there is a threat or concern, designated employees can disengage some or all cards. The Kentucky State Police and the Menifee County Sheriff’s Department will also have control cards. In the event of an emergency, these cards along with school district administrators, will be the only cards activated. The School District’s and Sheriff’s Office’s second concern with security is the lack of up-to-date security cameras. As the budget has allowed, Menifee County has placed cameras in high traffic and isolated areas. The County still needs more in areas that suffer theft and vandalism. Botts Elementary School is located in the most rural part of the community. They have suffered the most theft and vandalism. While cameras have been beneficial in some cases, they have not always caught the information needed for law enforcement. At Menifee Elementary, there are no cameras on the front or east side of the building. This is main entrance of the building and has presented issues in the past. Currently, the County has a mix of analog, co-ax and IP cameras. With this funding, the County will have IP cameras surrounding all of our buildings, lining our hallways and all high traffic and isolated areas.The Menifee Count School District takes school safety very seriously. The County has an Emergency Operation Plans in place, conducts routine meetings with local first responders and the majority of staff have taken the Active School Shooter Training in a partnership with the Kentucky State Police. The County has also already developed Trauma Informed Teams and Threat Assessment Teams at each school. Each team has received full training in their specific area. The County completes school assessments with the Kentucky Center for School Safety every three years. The Menifee County School District also partnered with the Kentucky Alcohol and Substance Abuse Program and the Menifee Fiscal Court to provide a full time School Resource Officer for our schools. Menifee County is doing everything within their financial realm to keep their children safe but need assistance in the two listed areas. From Menifee County: “With the funding from this project, you will change the lives of over 950 children that otherwise will not be protected at the level of other, more wealthy schools. The children Menifee County deserve this protection and we respectfully request your assistance.” | PO Box 142, Frenchburg, KY 40322 | 528653 |
