State police make informal school-safety suggestions; board to coordinate with school board
Summary
The principal received safety suggestions from state police; the Selectboard discussed removable vehicle barriers, fencing and a gate and agreed to raise the proposals with the school board and coordinate any changes and potential costs.
The Selectboard reviewed informal safety suggestions provided to the school principal by state police, which included installing a gate in the fence, removable vehicle barriers at the front entrance and other measures to reduce vehicle access to student areas.
Board members said the suggestions were informational and that the school board should consider them formally; the selectboard agreed to discuss safety measures in the upcoming joint meeting with the school board. A member noted the school had applied for a grant to replace glass with safety glass at vulnerable windows. "They gave her some safety suggestions for the school," the Chair said; no formal town-funded actions were taken at this meeting.
