Visitor Management Resource Spotlight Managing visitors can be time-consuming for front office staff, especially at sites with frequent parent, volunteer, and vendor traffic. PRISM partners with Sign In Solutions to offer members discounted pricing on its visitor management system. Members interested in learning more can review PRISM’s Quick Start Guide for program details and explore the full case study to see the system’s impact at a California school site. For questions regarding PRISM’s partnership with Sign In Solutions, contact Chandler Wright. Using Summer Months to Get Ahead of Risk Summer might feel quiet, but it’s really one of the best times to get ahead of potential hazards. With fewer students on campus, school districts have a window to tackle things that are hard to address during the school year, whether that’s construction, maintenance, inspections, or security. A few areas school districts can consider, and their associated PRISM resources include: Construction zones and site security, including access and fencing. Risk Simplified: Not So Attractive Nuisances Playground surfacing and equipment condition. Risk Simplified: Identifying Playground Hazards Custodial work and equipment safety during deep cleaning. Risk Simplified: Floor Cleaning Equipment Fire preparedness and defensible space. Risk Simplified: Fire Hardening Public Facilities  Campus security and copper theft risks. Risk Simplified: Copper Theft.  If there’s a topic you’re looking for that isn’t listed here, explore the Risk Simplified library or reach out to Scarlett Sadler for additional support.
