Case Study: East Grand School District achieves enhanced campus safety and centralized security management with Verkada video security and access control

How a District Integrated Video Security and Access Control into a Broader Campus Safety Initiative

East Grand School District used funds from the BEST Grant Program to strengthen student and staff safety across its four school campuses and sought an integrated, easy-to-manage security solution. The district turned to Verkada to deploy a combined video security and access control system to replace fragmented legacy tools and improve real-time visibility and incident response.

Verkada installed 131 total cameras and access control across 77 hardened doors, delivering high‑resolution footage, powerful searchability, and a centralized dashboard for simplified management. The deployment gave staff clearer video evidence, faster identification of suspicious activity, and precise entry logs via key cards, improving campus awareness and control while unifying security operations under Verkada.
