This post is to talk about a school security system called " school angel."
Below is what the system engineers have written about the system.
With growing insecurity concerns in the country, Child
Safety has become a major source of worry to most parents and school
administrators. However, the ad hoc systems introduced to check this problem in
practically all schools visited fall short of what can be achieved with a
comprehensive Child Safety Assurance System.
School Angel is a comprehensive, fast, intuitive, and
highly secured Child Safety Assurance System that provides parents and school
administrators an unequivocal means (biometrics) of verifying the identity of
child collectors. It offers parents 24 hours control, via mobile phones and an
online portal (School Angel web portal), of who collects their children either
regularly or in case of emergency.
Biometric machines are not subjective and, unlike humans, they are foolproof thereby eliminating the grievous error of releasing wards to unauthorized collectors and shielding the schools from liabilities. Furthermore, parents are sent real-time notifications (via SMS, Email and on phone Apps) of collections and drop offs thereby increasing their peace of mind. All records of collection and collector are time stamped and kept in a secure database for auditing and reporting purposes.

Features

collects their children plus flexible means of removing and adding to the
authorized child -collector list within minutes via their phones, computers,
tablet etc.
Real-time notifications via SMS, Mobile App and Email
of when the child/ward was dropped off and collected from school.
High integrity audit trail of delivery and collection
based on the non-repudiation principle of biometrics
Real-time school bus and child-tracking.
Monitoring of route detours, unauthorized movements,
delays, accidents etc. with prompt notification to school authorities.
Automatic notification via SMS and Mobile App 10
Minutes from pick up point
Visibility of all vehicles and routes from manned
command centers
From what I have read on this and also with
working with them,I think this will be a very good security system. In this age where there are lot security challenges I believe it will to a large
extend help beef up security in schools.
I know that as a relatively new system it will experience the
usual problems companies experience in their teething stages
