Trustees weigh safety concerns over interior school video on district website
Summary
Trustees discussed whether a recruitment video showing interior school spaces should remain online; the superintendent recommended removing it as a precaution while some board members said it supports enrollment outreach.
The board discussed a district website video that shows interior views of the school. The superintendent recommended removing the interior footage because it could provide an unwanted blueprint for someone trying to cause harm, while other board members argued the video helped demonstrate facility improvements and support enrollment outreach.
Kathy said the video’s enrollment benefit was the original intent but suggested the board keep safety on the radar and possibly remove or revise the interior footage. "In a time where school safety is an issue, I would recommend that we take the video down of the interior of our school," Kathy said. Trustees agreed to continue the discussion at the next Westmass meeting and to consider whether other area districts publish similar materials.
