However, the meeting also addressed serious safety issues at Sandy Elementary. Board member Mr. Eddle reported on two recent security incidents that required police intervention, raising alarms about the school's inadequate safety measures. He highlighted the lack of functional blinds, which leaves students vulnerable during potential threats. "There's no way for them to have prevented the threat from seeing into the school," he stated, emphasizing the urgent need for improvements.

In response to ongoing heat issues at the school, discussions included exploring new chiller systems to ensure a safe learning environment. Eddle noted that the district is seeking quotes for a new system that could alleviate temperature fluctuations, which have led to discomfort and health concerns among students.
