Board allocates camera funds, cites new state allowance under House Bill 5438
Summary
The district set a $150,000 set-aside for camera replacements and plans to use carryover funds plus newly eligible 7d allocations under House Bill 5438 (effective 07/01/2026) to complete remaining upgrades at eight schools.
Kristen Cameron said the budget includes a $150,000 set-aside for camera replacement with a small carryover balance and that updated vendor quotes are pending. She noted that with the passage of House Bill 5438, effective July 1, 2026, the district can use a portion of its 7d allocation for expenses qualifying under the Safe Schools fund, which will help finish camera replacements across remaining schools.
Board members asked whether the total available will cover quotes that staff expect to be around $500,000 for remaining buildings; Cameron said she expects the carryover plus the $150,000 set-aside and 7d allocations to be sufficient but is awaiting updated quotes and plans to coordinate with the new director of safety when they start July 1. No procurement action was taken at this meeting.
