SAN DIEGO Schools throughout San Diego have taken on a new look in recent months since tall chain-link fencing has been installed to secure campus perimeters in the name of safety.
Residents in some areas have complained to the San Diego Unified School District that the metal fencing is over the top, making schools look more like prisons that centers of education. Others say they feel safer knowing that students and teachers might be less vulnerable to potentially dangerous intruders.
The San Diego Unified School District has budgeted fencing projects along with other campus improvements to be paid for with the proceeds of recent general obligation bond measures and other funds. School security upgrades, however, were stepped up at the request of the school board and employees two years ago after 20 children and six staff members were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
We are looking for that balance. Keeping our children safe during the school day, that is our priority, said Drew Rowlands, the districts top operations officer. But we also want to be a center of the community. How do we keep the school that looks inviting while also keeping it safe? In some cases, the new chain-link replaced modest wooden fences and spaces that offered open views into neighborhood campuses. At other schools, new fences sealed unofficial points of entry.
I mean, I understand that we probably need the fences and gates these days given everything that can and does happen in this world, said Gabby Sanchez-Washington, who noticed the fences at Pershing Middle School in San Carlos while picking up her nephew on Friday. But I hate the way it looks, like a cage or something. When I was a kid, schools were welcoming places that you didnt lock people out of. But again, those were different times.
The district wants every school to funnel visitors through a single point of entry once classes begin. Most require parents and volunteers to check in and show identification before entering classrooms. Franklin Elementary School in Kensington requires visitors to buzz a door bell at the front door, and request entry through a speaker.
A long-awaited districtwide security assessment and safety plan requested by the board in January 2012 in the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting will be released and discussed at a board workshop set for Jan. 20.
The district police force worked with administrators on the security initiative, which included an analysis of everything from neighborhood and campus crime data to the architecture of schools. The district also commissioned a formal safety assessment that identifies potential vulnerabilities and recommended improvements for each of its some 200 schools.
The board is expected to discuss how far it wants to go when it comes to securing its schools, which could include installing electronic entries and barriers in front offices, outfitting classrooms and exterior gates with new lock systems, and installing security cameras.
Since Sandy Hook, the district has spent millions of dollars on safety projects, including the fencing. A detailed accounting of the cost of the projects is expected to be released at the workshop later this month, Rowlands said.

Wearing an open-neck countryman's shirt and donning the peaked cap of the volunteers who rebuild the fences and lives of farmers struck by bushfire and other disaster, new Governor-General General Sir Peter Cosgrove came to the small Victorian town of Wandong to celebrate what he called the Australian spirit.
The very worst of circumstances, he told a crowd of hundreds, many of them victims of Victoria's Black Saturday and more recent fires, brought out the best in Australians.
"We will bend our backs and empty our pockets to help others," he said.

The thousands of volunteers who had joined Blaze Aid, formed soon after the Black Saturday fires of 2009, had not only re-built enough fencing to span Australia, they had built bridges between themselves and those who needed help, he said.

It was Sir Peter's first public engagement since becoming Governor-General.
He was piped to the strains of Waltzing Matilda into the event, near Kilmore north of Melbourne, by former West Australian police band piper and Blaze Aid volunteer Jimmy Clarysse.
But it was clear Sir Peter, who has seen a bit of disaster in his time - in war in East Timor, in the wake of earthquake and tsunami in Aceh and in cyclone-struck north Queensland - wanted this to be an informal occasion, with the focus on volunteers rather than him.

SHIRE fences would be a better solution than the larger multi-shire option, according to Winton Wild Dog Control Group chairman Peter White.
He supported his shire council's decision to favour cluster fencing over an exclusion fence that would encompass 8.8 million hectares, saying it was a responsible position to take in light of the financial struggle landholders were going through.
"They don't want another burden at this stage," he said.
"I take my hat off to the group proposing the check fence but I think we would be better off having one shire having full control rather than four shires negotiating."
The group originally expressed disappointment at not being included in the 1400km fence proposal.
Mr White said 70 per cent of the sheep in the shire ran within 50km of its proposed boundary and it would have only increased the pressure of wild dogs and kangaroo populations.
"We thought, if it can't help the whole shire, it's not worth doing at all."
He was not against fencing though, noting that his grandfather had fenced Athelstane when he came back from World War 1.
As other graziers did the same, the Winton shire eventually stepped in and linked them all up on its southern boundary.
"It worked well while the shire council was responsible for maintenance," he said.
