Summary

The superintendent said the district will use a $1.3 million grant from Senator Biaggi to expand indoor and outdoor security camera coverage and upgrade access controls across schools; the board discussed coordinating installations with summer work and contractor schedules.

The superintendent reported that a $1,300,000 security camera grant awarded through Senator Biaggi will expand the district’s internal and external camera coverage and upgrade access controls. "We finally implement the $1,300,000 security camera grant that we got from senator Biaggi," the superintendent said, noting the work will increase coverage and improve access control systems.

District staff said installation timing will coordinate with other summer projects and contractor availability; the superintendent described the upgrade as an important step for safety and noted continued partnership with the district’s consultant on emergency drills and reunification protocols. The grant is intended to fund predominantly camera and access control upgrades rather than other capital work.
