New security measures at Newtown Schools

New technology will be in place at the visitor desks at each of the Newtown Schools when classes start later this month.  The Raptor Visitor Management System is a web-based software will help track visitors location in the building.  A letter from the Superintendent to parents sent out Monday says this program will help control campus security by tracking visitors and electronically checking them against registered sexual offender databases. 

 

Raptor will replace most paper-based logs, monitor volunteer hours and produce visitor badges.  The old visitor badge was a generic one obtained at the security desk.  The new process will send visitors to the security desk, and their driver's license or ID card will be scanned.  The visitor's name, photo and destination or purpose of visit will be printed on a visitor badge. 

 

The Raptor system is currently in use in New Fairfield and New Britain.  It is also being installed in New Milford Schools.  Newtown School officials say they will continue to refine the new procedure during the school year to make adjustments as needed.
