Construction Updates
There have been numerous changes to our school district during the
past two summers. The exterior renovations have included new entrances
to the stadiums at both North and South, repairs and replacements to
roofs where needed, repairs to our parking lots, new stadium seating, updated lighting, a new ticket office, new locker
rooms for home and visiting football teams, and new windows. The auditoriums in both schools have been completely
overhauled to include new sound panels, new seating, new stage curtains and carpeting. The Athletic Boosters at both
North and South have been extraordinarily generous with the donations that have funded the weight rooms in each
school. In an effort to improve safety for our students, visitors are now detained in a bullpen when entering each of our
high schools. When walking through the building it is a pleasure to see the updated lockers, flooring and freshly painted
walls.
Security Updates
In an effort to further improve the safety of Willoughby-Eastlake City Schools and our
students, the district has implemented a new emergency response safety system in all
district buildings, including 11 high, middle and elementary schools, two early learning
centers and the Career Academy.
The system – known as NaviGate Prepared – was developed by Lauren Innovations, a company based in New Philadelphia,
Ohio. It is designed to prepare and assist school officials and first responders before, during and after a crisis. Using cloudbased technology, NaviGate Prepared securely stores important emergency preparedness plans and associated information,
such as call lists, personnel photos, building maps and more. Additionally, it allows for the integration of floor plans, live
security camera feeds and reunification procedures.
Highly secure, NaviGate Prepared offers the district’s authorized users and area first responders, including 911 dispatchers,
immediate, real-time access to a school’s imperative safety information – from any Web-authorized device. No matter the
severity of the situation, NaviGate Prepared ensures necessary safety information is accessible, even if a building is not.
