District estimates $3 million to upgrade school vestibules; proposes QCPU fund allocation to start work
Summary
Dr. Standish told the board about planned safety infrastructure: roughly 31 sites need vestibule modifications estimated at ~$3,000,000; she proposed using 0.5 of a penny from the Qualified Capital Purpose Undertaking Fund (about $2,000,000) to begin projects and asked planning committee follow-up.
Associate Superintendent Dr. Standish said planning work identified about 31 school sites that need vestibule-related modifications to improve secure entrances and visitor traffic flow. "We estimate this to cost approximately $3,000,000," she told the board, and proposed starting the work using 0.5 of a penny from the Qualified Capital Purpose Undertaking Fund, which she estimated would provide about $2,000,000 to begin projects.
Standish said the planning committee has studied site needs over multiple years and staff will bring recommendations for completing required modifications in subsequent school years. The board did not vote on a funding appropriation at this session; Standish said staff would continue evaluation, work with the planning committee and present recommendations to the board.
