Quincy — Quincy School District Superintendent Nick said the district has implemented nine school-security measures commonly associated with “Alyssa’s Law,” and that the district is meeting requirements that some states are adopting.

The announcement came during the board’s regular meeting after the superintendent summarized recent security work and listed measures commonly included under Alyssa’s Law. The statement matters because the law’s measures are intended to expand schools’ ability to notify authorities and control building access during emergencies.

Superintendent Nick said Alyssa’s Law is “a national law that states are adopting to pass to have certain, preventive measures such as single point entries, buttons that would notify authorities, access to a law enforcement of having access to our security cameras.” He listed additional measures later in his report — including access control, two‑way communications, emergency‑response access, notification systems, panic buttons and audio — and then told the board, “I’m proud to report that any kind of We have all 9. All 9 who's been in our schools.”

Board members did not take formal action on the security items at the meeting; the superintendent framed the remarks as an informational update. He identified the district’s current focus as completing communications and other start‑of‑year operations while monitoring safety and air quality concerns.

The remarks did not reference specific grant funding, contract awards, or a timeline for future upgrades. The district did not present new policy language or a formal motion regarding Alyssa’s Law at this meeting.

Board members and staff discussed safety as part of the superintendent’s report; there was no separate agenda item for formal adoption or procurement tied to the security measures.

The board will consider policies and legislative priorities at a future second reading, and the superintendent said staff would continue to report on operational matters such as emergency communications and access control.
