Board approves $39,708 purchase of eCard readers at three schools using security grant
Summary
The Warren County School Board approved the purchase and installation of eCard door readers at three schools for $39,708.30, funded primarily by a 2024 school security equipment grant with a local match of $7,902.75.
The Warren County School Board approved a $39,708.30 purchase and installation of electronic card readers for exterior doors at Hilda J. Barber Elementary, Warren County Middle School and Skyline High School.
District staff said the purchase will be paid largely with a 2024 School Security Equipment Grant that covers $31,611; the division will contribute $7,902.75 from its category 64 (local match) to complete the project. The board voted to award the purchase order and installation services to National Security and Door.
Administrators described the readers as an access‑control upgrade that replaces loose master keys with a system that logs and can disable individual ID cards, improving security and making it possible to deactivate access for particular cards without changing locks. The motion to approve the purchase passed on an affirmative voice vote at the meeting.
