During a recent government meeting, safety concerns were addressed following a significant incident involving an explosive device discovered near an elementary school earlier this year. The discussion was prompted by community apprehensions regarding district safety and transparency after an arrest was made in connection to the incident.

Board member statements clarified that there was no perceived threat to the school, which was why the situation was not communicated to the public initially. A thorough investigation by the FBI confirmed the absence of danger, and the board emphasized its commitment to safety and transparency. They assured the community that any real threats to student or staff safety would be promptly communicated.

In addition to safety discussions, the meeting included an update on the building construction fund. This fund, supported by voter-approved bonds, is designated for school renovations and improvements. Currently, the unallocated balance stands at $182,460, which may be reassigned to other projects or used to cover necessary taxes. Notable updates included the middle school pod redesign, which has moved into the process phase, and the completion of the high school student entrance bollards, with an invoice expected soon. The total remaining balance in the construction fund is reported to be $2,400,000.
