Parents sending their children to the Vault can now feel more confident regarding their children's safety.

Tammy Wilson, Executive Director of  The Vault in Clinton, told Regional Radio they were able to install new electronic security doors thanks to a grant from the DeWitt County Board.

In addition to the new front doors, new security cameras were also installed inside The Vault. Wilson notes the front desk mentor is responsible for monitoring the camera feed.

Wilson says they are awaiting the arrival of a new air filtration system. She hopes this will provide parents with an extra sense of peace of mind. Randomized backpack checks have been in place at The Vault since its opening and Wilson says this will continue into the foreseeable future.
