Security cameras in high schools thanks to Abbeville Rotary Club
The Abbeville Rotary Club is making Vermilion Parish public schools safer.
In 2019, Rotary Club raised funds to be able to provide public schools with a security system.
Funds raised totaled $27,000, and in collaboration with the Vermilion Parish School Board, the project began.
A year later, mission accomplished.
This week marked the completion of the Rotary’s School Security Project, which included putting security cameras in high schools of Abbeville, Gueydan, North Vermilion and Erath. Kaplan school led by example and was the first to pilot this process.
“Our Vermilion schools are now equipped with cameras, all exit door alarms, key card access, and capability of lockdown with the touch of a button,” said Rotary President Chris Duhon. “We are proud that our schools, students, and faculty will now be safer upon returning to school this year.”
