Case Study: East Jordan Public Schools builds a smarter, safer campus with Salient Systems

East Jordan Public Schools secures $485,000 grant with Salient Systems

East Jordan Public Schools, a rural Michigan school district, faced the challenge of enhancing campus safety and emergency preparedness while constrained by aging infrastructure and a limited budget. Their existing security systems were disjointed and aging, leading to communication breakdowns. To address this, they partnered with vendor Salient Systems to implement its CompleteView video management system.

Salient Systems provided a flexible, open-platform solution that integrated with the district's existing hardware and new systems like access control and vape detection. The phased implementation resulted in significantly improved day-to-day situational awareness and streamlined coordination with local law enforcement, who were granted secure access to live video feeds. This data-driven approach also helped the district secure a $485,000 federal grant to fund the project.
