Case Study: Gilbert Christian Schools achieves modernized access control and streamlined security operations with acre security

Gilbert Christian Schools Modernizes Access Control and Streamlines Security Operations With Vanderbilt

Gilbert Christian Schools, a private district in Gilbert, Ariz., serving more than 1,000 students and nearly 200 staff across three campuses, needed to modernize aging access control and improve both convenience and emergency response. After an initial trial with facial recognition proved insufficient, the district engaged acre security and implemented the Vanderbilt SMS access control platform to provide the backend infrastructure and advanced features they were missing.

acre security deployed Vanderbilt SMS districtwide (later expanding to all three campuses), enabling instant district-wide lockdowns, integrated panic buttons (including serial-numbered teacher alerts), and granular time-based access controls so lost keys can be deactivated quickly. The result: streamlined security operations across the Agritopia, Greenfield and high school campuses, improved incident visibility and response, and flexible access management for over 1,000 students and nearly 200 staff.
