Trustees ask why district paid $12,000 to repair high school cameras; staff cite multiple outages
Summary
A trustee questioned a $12,000 bill to repair high-school security cameras; administrators reported widespread outages earlier in the year and said about one-third of cameras required resets, new battery backups or replacement.
A board member asked administrators why the district spent roughly $12,000 to repair cameras at the high school given that the cameras were reported to be only a few years old.
Administrators said technology staff reported “massive outages” of the high-school camera system earlier in the spring, requiring many cameras to be reset, battery backups installed or replaced and some cameras replaced outright. A district staff member said technology believed about one-third of the cameras had been nonfunctional during that period.
Trustees asked whether warranty coverage applied; staff said warranty information would be brought to technology staff for review and that the matter could be discussed at a technology committee meeting. The board voted to approve bills submitted during the meeting; the camera repairs were part of the bills the board approved in open session.
The board did not take further formal action on the camera repairs during the special session; trustees asked staff to follow up with warranty details and to include the item in technology oversight conversations.
