Meridian OKs PA systems at two schools; most upgrades covered by DOJ grant
Summary
Facilities staff reported a 10-year HLS plan and said PA systems will be installed at Highland and Monroe Center; work at Monroe Center has begun and most upgrades are paid for by a Department of Justice grant.
Facilities Director Heather Alderks and facilities staff member Kenny Lamer told the board the district has laid out an HLS plan for the next 10 years following meetings with contractor Green; a final draft is expected in March and the team will meet with Engie mid-March. Alderks said installing public-address systems at Highland and Monroe Center schools in occupied spaces is a high priority and that work already has begun at Monroe Center.
The minutes state that "most upgrades are being covered by the Department of Justice Grant," indicating federal grant support for security-related improvements. The board received this update during the facilities-report portion of the meeting and directed staff to continue planning and vendor coordination.
