District presenter weighs motorized shades and frosted glass for classrooms
Summary
A district presenter outlined two window-treatment options for classrooms — motorized shades and frosted/smart glass — highlighting deployment speed, warranty differences and trade-offs for staff response and maintenance.
A presenter for the Waunakee Community School District outlined two main options for classroom window treatments at a facilities briefing, saying the choices hinge on deployment speed and maintenance. They described motorized shades used at another institution and contrasted them with frosted or smart glass, noting the latter provides immediate privacy while shades require more time to lower.
The presenter said the choice affects how quickly staff could implement a barricade procedure and staff response: "the frosted glass is is immediate." They urged consideration of both options before deciding and asked what additional information the board would like to see as staff continue evaluations.
