District reports partial rollout of restroom vape detectors; ongoing inspections and limited expansion planned
Summary
The district has installed six vape detectors at Central and four at Logan this year, plans two more at Central next year, and said detectors cost about $1,500 each plus subscription fees; administrators said detectors generate tamper alerts and camera reviews for follow up.
Board members asked about the first full year of restroom vape detectors at the high schools and future expansion plans. Facilities staff said the district currently has six detectors at Central and four at Logan, with two additional detectors planned at Central next year. "One of the things is that we we get the report or we get a report on every time that that happens," the presenter said, describing an incident‑report workflow that notifies school administration and prompts camera review and investigation.
Staff described cost factors: the detector hardware costs ~ $1,500 each, and service/subscription fees for the system are approximately $360 every three years (about $120/year). Board members asked about the distribution across restrooms and student reports that detectors were active in certain locations; administrators said placement decisions responded to building principals' requests and current facility layouts, and that full coverage is constrained by cost and building configurations.
