District outlines single-point-of-entry vestibules and access controls for junior-senior high
Summary
Board members asked about junior-senior high security upgrades; staff described fences, a punched-through vestibule entrance, buzzer/second-door procedures and gated access to limit commons entry during school hours.
Board members asked staff to describe how the junior-senior high single-point-of-entry and security desk would function. A staff member explained the plan includes fencing to isolate some wings, a new doorway punched through near staff offices to serve as the public entrance, and a vestibule staffed with secretaries and a buzzer/second-door lock to control access.
The staff member described exterior fencing and a gate that can be closed during school sessions so visitors must enter through the vestibule; once inside the vestibule, visitors will be served by secretaries and admitted through a second controlled door. The description in the meeting stressed that commons areas and athletic spaces would remain outside the secured perimeter during some events and that circulation plans will be refined as construction proceeds.
