Board approves Raptor badge system, high‑school serving‑line renovation and stadium light upgrade

At the meeting the board approved a package of facilities and safety items the superintendent had presented.

Safety: The board authorized the Raptor badge and alert system intended to speed staff notifications and assist with incident management and reunification during drills or emergencies. Superintendent and facilities staff described the system as configurable (three‑click alerts for classroom assistance to higher‑level lockdown responses) and noted union and leadership review prior to recommendation.

Facilities and equipment: The student nutrition department will fund a renovation of the high‑school serving line to modernize flow and update equipment; the district accepted the construction bid (contractor referenced in committee scope work) and said work must be complete by the start of next school year. The board also approved replacing failing stadium lights with Musco LED fixtures after repeated outages that posed safety and event reliability concerns. Facilities staff noted the lights were old and had sometimes failed during events; the replacement was framed as necessary for safety and to avoid recurring interruptions.

Other approvals: The board approved a regular book‑disposal list, agreements to support students with Warren County ESC and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, and a consulting engagement to assist with the district’s family‑facing system transition (Dan Hudson). The roll call recorded affirmative votes on these items.
