In Decatur County Schools, we are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment on every campus for our students, faculty and staff. Beginning the 2025 - 2026 school year, Decatur County Schools will implement the use of the OPENGATE Security System as a preventative step to keep our campuses weapon free.

The OPENGATE Security System is an advanced, walk-through weapons detection system designed to enhance school safety while maintaining a smooth flow of student entry. Unlike traditional metal detectors, OPENGATE uses advanced sensors to detect weapons and prohibited items without requiring students to stop, empty their pockets, or remove backpacks. This allows for efficient and non-intrusive screening, ideal for high-traffic areas such as school entrances.

Decatur County Schools has implemented OPENGATE to provide an added layer of protection for students and staff. The system is portable, quick to set up, and built to detect a wide range of threats while minimizing false alarms. With its modern design and cutting-edge technology, OPENGATE supports the district’s commitment to creating a safe and nurturing learning environment. We encourage all parents to emphasize to their children the importance of school safety and helping the Bearcat Family stay safe on every campus each day!

See how OPENGATE is making a difference in some of the largest school districts in the country, like Brevard County:

A graphic titled "Decatur County Board of Education Safety Update" announces the introduction of OPENGATE Security Systems. The graphic features two students smiling and walking through the OPENGATE walk-through weapons detection system. A message states that beginning in the 2025–2026 school year, Decatur County Schools will implement the system to help keep campuses weapon-free. The district encourages parents to talk with their children about the importance of school safety. The Bearcat Way logo and the school district’s purple color scheme are also included.

🌧️ Rainy days ahead for the first week of school!

Make sure your Bearcats come prepared with raincoats, boots, and umbrellas to stay cozy and dry! ☔️
