There is “ongoing concern about protection from active shooter incidents” on Davis Joint Unified School District campuses, according to a new report from the Yolo County Grand Jury. The report, published this week, highlights a lack of campus security in Davis schools and recommends improvements for better protection of students and staff. This is the 4th Grand Jury report outlining safety issues on Davis campuses since 2016. Here’s what the report found: ⚫️ Davis Senior High School, Cesar Chavez Elementary and North Davis Elementary Schools have open access to the public through adjacent parks. ⚫️ Teachers frequently leave their classroom doors unlocked during school hours. ⚫️ Trail cameras do not provide instant communication about intruders. ⚫️ DJUSD allocated $3 million dollars for fencing in 2023 but no fencing has been installed. Davis students are feeling less safe at school now than they did in 2021, according to data from a Youth Truth survey and shared at a DJUSD meeting May 1. In response to the question, “Do you feel safe at school,” only 57% of elementary school students responded that they feel safe—a 16 point drop since 2021. The next DJUSD meeting is May 15.
