Greene County school board considers purchase of Centenix crisis-alert system; transcript shows conflicting price figures
Summary
The board moved to purchase a Centenix Crisis Alert Response System for district buildings; the transcript records differing price figures (about $237,000 and $337,000). Board discussion referenced device features and asked about annual fees; the motion and second were recorded but the transcript does not show a final tally for this item.
The Greene County school board considered a recommendation to purchase a Centenix Crisis Alert Response System for multiple district buildings. A staff member described the device and handheld card features — "one of the neat features they've added is when so you have a certain number of times you press it for certain events, whether it's medical or whether it's the need for law enforcement or fire and rescue" — and recommended approval.
A motion to approve the purchase was made and seconded. The transcript contains two different price references in the discussion: one speaker said the purchase price would be "about 237,000," and later a motion included a $337,000 figure. Board members asked about an annual fee; the transcript records a question but no definitive answer on ongoing costs.
The item was moved and seconded in open session, but the transcript does not include a clear recorded vote or final tally for this line item. The board discussed procuring units for multiple buildings and emphasized device maintenance and vendor experience during the conversation.
