Tricia gave an update on a window tinting project as a security measure at the middle school. The admin team walked the campus with a vendor that works with other school in the area and is working with the vendor on a proposal.
Jon Ward stressed the need for this to harden the campus against potential threat and to keep the students out of sight of passersby.
Drew Ward discussed the need for a quality security camera and PA system as a part of the high school expansion.
Several committee members agreed that enhancing the safety of the facilities should be a high priority in the three-year capital projects plan.
