Protect Students and Staff with Intelligent Entry Management
Harlingen CISD's commitment to safety is evidenced by the achievement of 100% Texas Education Agency Designated Safe Schools. However, maintaining this standard requires staying ahead of evolving security threats. Traditional lock-and-key systems leave schools vulnerable—keys get lost, copied, or stolen, creating security gaps that put everyone at risk.
Modern access control systems eliminate these vulnerabilities by providing intelligent, trackable entry management. Instead of hoping lost keys don't fall into the wrong hands, administrators gain real-time control over who enters school buildings and when. Here are five compelling reasons why Harlingen schools need to upgrade their security infrastructure.

Transform Vulnerable Glass Into Protective Barriers That Keep Students and Staff Safe
Harlingen CISD's achievement of 100% Texas Education Agency (TEA) Designated Safe Schools across all 32 campuses demonstrates exceptional commitment to student safety. However, comprehensive security requires protecting every potential entry point, and windows remain the most vulnerable part of any school building.
Most security incidents involving forced entry happen through glass doors and windows, not locked entrances. Standard glass offers no resistance to impact and creates dangerous projectile hazards when shattered. Security film changes this reality by transforming ordinary windows into protective barriers that delay intrusion and prevent glass from becoming a safety threat.
