As one of the largest school districts in Northwest Iowa, Fort Dodge Community School District (FDCSD) is focused on providing a positive, caring, and nurturing environment for its 3,500 kindergarten to grade 12 students. Under the leadership of Superintendent Dr. Douglas G. Van Zyl, FDCSD is committed to maintaining a safe and practical learning environment at all nine of its schools to enhance academics and effectively meet the needs of the community it serves. As a strong supporter of the use of security solutions in schools to protect students and staff alike, Van Zyl spearheaded the recent surveillance system upgrade at Fort Dodge Senior High School to help prevent break-ins, student disputes, vandalism, and other disruptive behaviour. The Avigilon high-definition surveillance system was chosen because it can run on the district’s existing network and delivers superior image resolution, cost-effective scalability, and advanced management functionality.The district also plans to leverage Avigilon Control Center Mobile to enable law enforcement officials and other key stakeholders to view live and recorded images wirelessly
