Overview

• The pilot begins Friday at Escola Municipal José Parente Prado in Sumaré, covering 907 students from 3rd to 9th grade.
• The setup includes eight high-resolution cameras and a security tower with 180° view, siren and panic button linked to a command center that relays alerts to the Municipal Guard and Military Police.
• Students undergo facial enrollment with parental authorization, and families receive real-time entry and exit notifications via app as attendance is automated.
• City officials say the two-month evaluation, budgeted at R$ 6,000 per month, was fast-tracked from a plan first studied in March to assess expansion to other municipal schools.
• Police report one suspect arrested and held in preventive detention and at least one fugitive as the inquiry cites rival factions and drugs found on a victim, while the attacked state school prepares to reopen on October 6 with psychosocial support.
