Board tightens volunteer access after weekend unauthorized entry; keys and FOBS limited to hired coaches and staff
Summary
Following a report of unauthorized entry and minor damage over the weekend, trustees clarified that building keys/FOBs will be limited to hired coaches and specific staff; volunteers must be admitted by a coach and complete background checks and training.
Board members reported an unauthorized entry at a district school over the weekend that caused minor damage; police were notified and the district indicated it had video evidence and had turned the matter over to law enforcement.
In response, the board discussed limiting building keys and FOBS to hired coaches and designated staff. Directors said volunteer coaches will retain volunteer status (not employed coaches) and must be let into buildings by a coach or authorized staff member; volunteers will still be required to complete training and background checks. The change aims to reduce untracked key distribution and unauthorized access that occurred during moves between buildings in prior years.
Board members also clarified that the walking track will remain a community amenity with specified hours and required sign-in through community education; it will not be open during events unless paid access is arranged. No disciplinary actions were announced; the board instructed administration to implement tighter access controls and ensure volunteers understand the sign-in and supervision requirements.
