Committee approves SVPCOPS grant submission to add cameras and access controls at schools
Summary
Lewiston Public Schools will apply for another SVPCOPS security grant to upgrade cameras and door access controls; staff said local match/costs are expected and the committee approved submission unanimously.
District staff described plans to seek SVPCOPS funding to add cameras and expand remote access controls on key school doors. Staff said the district previously installed systems at some entry points and that a new grant would allow the district to add cameras and access controls where technology has changed or gaps remain.
"It's that kind of a system," one staff member said while describing access-controls and visitor-buzz-in arrangements at building entrances. Member Janet Bowden moved to approve the grant submission and Member Luke Jensen seconded; the committee voted 7–0 to authorize staff to apply and to cover any local match requirements as appropriate.
