Board discusses replacing doors, fixing cameras and internet at remote school cottage
Summary
Trustees discussed replacing rotted exterior doors with steel doors and panic hardware, adding cameras tied to central campus monitoring, and addressing intermittent internet service at an outlying school building.
Board members and staff reviewed security problems at a remote cottage building: rotted original doors that are not acceptable emergency egress, a nonfunctioning security camera that now reports "no signal," and unreliable internet connectivity. A buildings-and-grounds trustee recommended replacing four exterior doors with heavier steel doors and panic devices and said House of Glass could likely begin work soon. Trustees also recommended adding a second camera and wiring cameras into the district's central camera program to permit remote login and monitoring.
On connectivity, staff noted Golden West provides service at the site but that fiber is present in the ditch and the site is not yet hooked to it. Trustees discussed low-cost interim options (consumer doorbell cameras) but also flagged security and reliability risks for simple consumer devices. Miss Johnson said students' Chromebooks and teachers' access are frequently disrupted and that the district will continue to work with the vendor to resolve the issue.
