ASIS Foundation to Present $22,000 to Anaheim Elementary School

​On Friday, Sept. 25, the ASIS Foundation and ASIS International will present Lord Baden-Powell Elementary School, in the Magnolia School District, a donation of $22,000 for security improvements and recognize other security industry product and service organizations, who collectively donated an additional $100,000 in-kind. “We are grateful to ASIS for their generosity and commitment to school safety,” states Principal Bill Bailey. The school will also be honored at a luncheon on Thursday, Oct. 1 at the Anaheim Convention Center.

Lord Baden-Powell is the winner of the ASIS Foundation’s School Security Funding Competition. Through a series of short essays, schools in the Magnolia School District were asked to consider their particular security concerns and what risks they would attempt to reduce and/or eliminate, along with a list of specific security enhancements they would purchase with the funding. A committee comprised of security management professionals from the ASIS Orange County Chapter judged the submissions.

“This is the twelfth year that ASIS has sponsored this competition, as a way of giving back to the community where our Annual Seminar and Exhibits is held,” says ASIS Chief Executive Officer Michael J. Stack. “The aim of the competition is to encourage local schools to assess the security issues that confront their buildings, staff and students every day.”

Lord Baden-Powell is one of the nine schools in the Magnolia School District in West Anaheim. A culturally and socio-economically diverse school, Lord Baden-Powell has approximately 640 students in general education, as well as approximately 60 special needs students from within and outside the district.

Improvements include the addition of both indoor and outdoor surveillance cameras to act as a deterrent for potential wrongdoers and provide enhanced safety for the children and staff as they move throughout the school, as well as those entering and exiting the school.

On July 25, 2015, a team of 40 volunteers, including project managers, install technicians and administrative support staff from TRL Systems and other volunteers from ASIS, Kepler Networks, and friends/family donated their time and expertise to install a thirteen-camera monitoring system at the school.

"When I was first asked if TRL and I would be interested in working with ASIS to donate and install a camera system in a local school, I said "yes" immediately," said TRL Security Division General Manager Gary Chavarria. "Having been an ASIS member for many years I was honored to have an opportunity to work directly with ASIS on such an important project. I am very happy that our organization took a leadership role in providing a state-of-the-art video platform for Lord Baden-Powell Elementary School."
