Kemp ISD superintendent reports $49,937.34 in grant-funded security cameras for blind spots
Summary
Superintendent Dr. James Young told trustees the district will add security cameras in blind spots across Kemp ISD using grant funds, with the purchase total reported as $49,937.34. The item was presented as an informational report, not a formal board action.
Superintendent Dr. James Young reported to the Kemp Independent School District Board of Trustees on Nov. 7 that the district will add security cameras in blind spots across campuses using grant funds, with the total cost listed as $49,937.34.
The report was presented informally during the superintendent’s report; the minutes record the funding source as a grant and show no motion or formal vote on the purchase during the special meeting. Board members present at the time included Board President Vidal Jones, Vice President Carole Williams, Secretary Sharron Rankin and trustees Rachel Brewington, Matthew Gross and later-arriving Trustee Randal Robertson. The meeting opened at 5:30 PM and adjourned at 7:17 PM.
The minutes do not specify vendor, installation timeline, warranty terms or which campuses will receive cameras; the record states only the overall dollar amount and that grant funds will be used. The board did not take a recorded vote on the reported purchase during this special meeting, and no public comments were received on the item.
