Board hears demo of door-locking system; superintendent says product to be included in bond budget
Summary
Vendor Hill&Lock demonstrated a door-locking system the company said complies with ADA and other state/federal regulations; Superintendent Dr. Rickie Harris said the district will include the system in the bond budget.
At the Nov. 18 meeting Hill&Lock presented a door-locking system intended for use during active-shooter events and informed the board that the product complies with applicable state and federal regulations, including ADA Standards for Accessible Design. Dr. Rickie Harris told trustees that the product is planned to be included in the forthcoming bond budget for school safety.
The presentation was provided as an informational item; the board did not vote specifically to purchase the product during the meeting. The board’s subsequent authorization to pursue Unlimited Tax School Building Bonds, Series 2025 provides a funding vehicle that district leaders identified as the likely source for such safety upgrades.
