Success in Flushing Community School District

Between top education priorities and the Fourth of July weekend, we didn't have time to put together a new tip for you. Fortunately, our friends at Exacq have a success story to share.

The Flushing Community School District covers 65 square miles, with a population of approximately 25,000. K-12 enrollment is approximately 4,277 students, with 8 school buildings serving the educational needs of the students.

exacqVision video management software (VMS) was installed to help Flushing administration "monitor student behavior after the fact." exacqVision is installed on two industry standard servers with video recording to a 30TB iSCSI disk array. ExacqVision manages 149 IP cameras and encoders located throughout 8 school buildings to provide a safe and orderly environment in which all student have an opportunity to realize their potential.

Each school has the exacqVision client software installed on the principals' and secretaries' PCs, giving them access to only those cameras located in their buildings. When an incident is reported, staff will search digital video recorded on the servers to investigate and support their findings. Video can be easily exported to a DVD or USB flash drive and may be shown to students, parents or police as per board policy. Video evidence helps Flushing reduce repeat offenses.
