  2. The WVDE has partnered with the West Virginia Parent Teacher Association, the West Virginia State Police, RESAs and Securlinx to introduce AmberVision to West Virginia public schools.

  3. What is AmberVision ? • AmberVision is designed to locate missing children. • AmberVision uses state-of-the-art technology to provide accurate information as soon as a child is reported missing. • This information is highly secure and can only be accessed should a child be reported missing. • AmberVision feeds directly into Amber Alert. • In the fall, students in the West Virginia public school system will be enrolled in AmberVision at no cost. • Unless a parent decides to opt out of the program, all West Virginia children in public schools will be registered with AmberVision using their school directory info.

  4. AmberVision Database Security • Redundant servers guaranteeing 99.9% uptime • Servers are protected • Network firewall • Application firewall • Anti-virus firewall • Intrusion protection • Secure Socket Layer (SSL) using 256 bit encryption • Data Center is physically protected • 24/7 video surveillance • Security breach alarms • Biometric thumb print scanner at every entryway

  5. AmberVision Database Access • AmberVision creates a 3D animated avatar rendered from the child’s photograph: • to aid in recognition from off angles. • to improve the performance of facial recognition biometric software. • a copy is included in the enrollment confirmation and is available for personal use.

  6. We need your HELP!

  7. What can you do? • Contract with Photographers • Specific contract language has been provided to county superintendents to be included in contracts with photographers. • Requires every photographer to provide a CD of student photos • Requires the photos to be aligned with a name and date of birth • First Day of School • Inform parents that as part of POLICY 4350, school directory information will be shared with AmberVision. • Policy 4350 has been updated to standardize what is included in school directory information. • Standard opt-out language has been provided to superintendents • Language should be placed in school directory document sent home to parents • Provide promotional information to parents regarding AmberVision. • One page flyer will be provided for every student in your school along with the school directory document which goes home to parents

  8. What can you do? • Fall Semester • Confirm the CD provided by the photographer contains the right pictures with the right names. • Ensure any opt-out students are removed from the disk. • Mail the disk to the county central office. • Mid Year • AmberVision/Securlinx will provide to every school an individual login pin for every parent who allowed their student’s data to be shared with the program. • Schools will be responsible for disseminating the login pins to parents on a per-request basis.
