Board confirms funds are set aside for security vestibules; construction expected to start this summer
Summary
A resident asked whether consulting and construction for school building security vestibules are covered by the budget proposition or already funded; the superintendent said the money is already set aside and trustees said construction is expected to begin this summer with completion possibly taking years.
A resident asked during public comment whether consulting and construction for security vestibules (agenda items 7 E–7 G) would be paid from the Proposition 2 funding or were already budgeted. The superintendent said the funds for the security improvements have already been set aside.
When asked about timing, district leaders said the board and facilities staff would announce a schedule after further planning, but Vice President Floyd Ewing and other trustees cautioned that full completion could take years. Board President Robert Traiano later said construction was expected to start “sometime this summer,” though he noted that final completion schedules depend on construction sequencing and contractual details.
The board did not provide a construction timetable or final cost estimates during the meeting; trustees described the work as part of a multi‑year facilities effort.
