Superintendent J. Henry told the board Jan. 12 that the company supplying hardware/software for the district's key‑fob entry system has gone out of business, prompting evaluation of replacement options and an on‑site meeting with the Security Alarm representative.

Superintendent J. Henry informed the board that the vendor supplying the district's key‑fob hardware and software has unexpectedly gone out of business. The district's facility access/security vendor, Security Alarm, told the superintendent that the company behind the existing key‑fob system is no longer operating; as a result, the district may need an unplanned replacement project.

Henry said he is scheduling an on‑site appointment with a Security Alarm representative to review options and next steps. The minutes do not include estimated costs or a preferred replacement timeline; those details remain to be determined following the vendor site visit. The board did not take immediate action on this item; the superintendent will report back with options and cost estimates.
