Summary
The board approved a $236,600 contract for a four‑year crisis‑alert pendant system to be paid from the new building fund; administrators said the system complies with Alyssa’s Law and every teacher and administrator in the building will be issued a pendant.
The Green Local Schools Board of Education approved a $236,600 contract to purchase a crisis‑alert pendant system for the district’s new elementary building, a system administrators said satisfies requirements of Alyssa’s Law.
The board voted to approve the contract with the vendor (listed in the agenda materials as "Centages" or similar) and to pay for the system from the district’s new building fund. The superintendent said the devices include multiple features to assist with safety and crisis response and confirmed “every teacher or administrator or whomever is in the building will be wearing one.”
Board members said the contract term will run four years; the superintendent and staff described the purchase as a compliance and safety measure for the new facility. The motion to approve the contract carried on a 4‑0 roll call.
During discussion, a board member asked whether the system was a single purchase or an ongoing service contract; administrators said it is a multi‑year arrangement with a renewal structure. The district also identified the primary funding source for the purchase as the new building fund.
The board’s approval authorizes the district to move forward with installation and distribution of pendants in the new Green Elementary School. Final specifications, implementation timing and staff training will be handled by the superintendent’s office and the facilities/security team; those details were not announced at the meeting.
