Assistant Superintendent Shawn Duhon told the Safety & Security Committee on July 28, 2025, that Cycle 1 grant activities are complete and Cycle 2 funding is being used to expand physical security measures across campuses.
The update focused on three areas: evaluation of Cycle 1 outcomes, planned uses for Cycle 2 funds, and recent updates to cameras, locks and lighting systems. Duhon summarized progress on Cycle 1 and outlined how Cycle 2 funding is intended to affect safety and security initiatives districtwide.
Committee members asked questions and provided feedback about project timelines, installation priorities and remaining work to be completed under Cycle 1. No grant dollar amounts or contract awards were disclosed during the briefing.
Duhon described the current scope as upgrades to surveillance cameras, door hardware and exterior lighting but did not provide specific vendor names, quantities or cost figures. The committee did not take a formal vote on funding allocations during the meeting; next steps were described as follow-up to finalize installation schedules and to report back at a future meeting.
The committee’s agenda item did not include a decision to reallocate funds or to approve contracts; any procurement or contract approvals were presented as future steps pending schedule and vendor selection.
