Board updates: security radios ordered, preschool playground installed, digital sign donation to be installed
Summary
Board members heard that security radios and repeaters have been ordered to improve school–police communications, the preschool playground installation is underway with safety surfacing forthcoming, and a donor-funded electronic sign will be installed with town help and a commemorative plaque.
During the Oct. 14 workshop the board received updates on several safety and facilities projects.
A staff member (speaker 3) said both schools completed required fire and bus-evacuation drills and tested silent panic alarms routed to the local police station. The staff member reported that an order for security radios and repeaters has been placed and that the vendor is coordinating required cable and electrical work; the radios are intended to allow the elementary school, middle school and local police to communicate via handheld radios.
The staff member also reported the preschool playground is under construction and that rubber safety surfacing is expected to be installed before winter weather, and that funds from the digital-sign donation will also support replacement of a weathered wooden sign in front of the middle school. The town will assist with removal and installation of the new digital sign.
These items were presented as informational updates; the transcript records no separate motions or votes tied specifically to these facilities projects during the meeting.
