Superintendent says district exploring metal-detector pilot as trustees raise staff safety concerns
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Lopez said the district is exploring purchase of a metal detector used by a neighboring district and considering a pilot at the football stadium; Trustee Sergio Valdez raised concerns about custodial staff safety at McCabe Elementary due to poor lighting.
Superintendent Dr. Lopez told trustees the district is evaluating safety practices and is "looking into purchasing a metal detector similar to a neighboring district," with plans to visit that district to observe usage and consider piloting the device at the football stadium. Staff indicated the goal is to have the device ready in time for graduation if feasible.
Earlier in the meeting Trustee Sergio Valdez raised concern about custodial-staff safety at McCabe Elementary because of insufficient lighting and asked how custodial staff should contact security. The minutes record Mr. R. Carlos responding but the transcript excerpt does not include the full response. The board discussed coordinating with the City of Mendota on joint meeting dates to follow up on safety and operational matters.
