Success Story: Jackson County Schools

Nestled within the peaks and the valleys of the southernmost area of the Appalachian Mountain Range, the Jackson County School District encompasses 150 miles in northeast Alabama. The beautiful, yet diverse, terrain presented obstacles to school administrators in how best to monitor happenings with the district's 18 campuses, 7,000 students, and three administration buildings.

"We saw a drastic need for increased safety efforts at our campuses as we grew and our administration determined that the best way to meet our standards was to develop a comprehensive plan that included the uniform implementation of video surveillance at all of our campuses," said Jackson County Schools Network Administrator Dennis Morris.
