Superintendent reports pipe burst, attendance push and lockdown training; board considers panic-button alerts
Summary
During the Aug. 21 meeting superintendent updates covered a contractor (Edifiers) role, a campus pipe burst attributed to SD Crane with asphalt repairs pending, attendance initiatives including new signage, and recent lockdown training; the district aims to deploy a panic-button alert to Pinal County Sheriff's Office before winter break.
At the Aug. 21, 2024 meeting of the Red Rock Elementary School District No. 5 board, the superintendent’s report covered facilities repairs, attendance measures and safety training.
The minutes note that "Russ Federico of Edifiers" is connected to a contract to help facilitate projects with the School Facilities Department. The superintendent reported a pipe burst on campus outside Building 400, which the minutes attribute to construction activity by 'SD Crane'; asphalt repair work in the affected area remains pending.
Attendance was described as a high priority: the district printed a new sign to post on the corner fence and will roll out a new attendance procedure to involve teachers, the principal and the school's SSO for students with high absence rates. The minutes also note that the district will present its first 'Rock' award at the September board meeting.
On safety, the minutes record recent lockdown training and a first practice on Aug. 21; the district plans quarterly drills and is exploring a new panic-button feature for employee phones that would send alerts directly to the Pinal County Sheriff's Department. The minutes state the district hopes to implement the technology before winter break, subject to procurement and testing.
The minutes record no public comments on these items. The document does not provide a procurement timeline, costs, or technical specifications for the panic-button system.
