Newark Central School District has been featured in a customer success story by Genetec, in collaboration with Convergint, highlighting the district’s ongoing efforts to enhance school safety through innovative security technology.

The article showcases how Newark CSD has brought together security cameras, building access controls, emergency communications, and vape detection sensors into one centralized system. This integration allows district personnel to better monitor school facilities, coordinate emergency responses, and improve overall situational awareness.

Among the most notable results is an approximately 93% reduction in vaping incidents through the use of integrated sensors, video monitoring, and automated alerts. The system also supports coordinated lockdown procedures, helping district staff and local emergency responders react more efficiently when needed.

The feature highlights the district's commitment to creating a safer environment for students and staff, while demonstrating the value of collaboration with technology partners Genetec and Convergint.
