Safety & Security
Project Summary
Total Project Budget: $52.2 Million
Referendum Funds: $50.0 Million
Contracted to Date: $28.4 Million
The district’s master facility plan assessed safety and security at all district facilities. Critical security needs to be addressed at all district facilities include:
- Modernizing the front entrance to create a secure vestibule for credentialing all building visitors
- Improved exterior visibility through main entrance redesign and relocations as necessary
- Expanding use of security cameras
- Exterior door replacements
- Increasing the use of access controls and electronic door strikes for improved security
- Improving emergency communication tools, including new district-wide phone and radio systems, and replacement of public address systems at several facilities
All safety and security work is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2027.
To ensure the district has adequate space to implement new security protocols without impacting class sizes or the student experience, several small elementary building additions are also planned for the 2027 project year.
