Brackett ISD reviews RhinoWare lockdown system proposal priced at $153,235; procurement would be required
Summary
Administration shared a vendor quote of $153,235 for a RhinoWare lockdown system and emphasized the district already meets compliance with current intruder-block measures; any purchase would require a competitive procurement process and budgeting.
The administration updated the board on a vendor presentation for a Rhinoware (RhinoWare) lockdown system and provided a packet that included installation maps and a total quote. Speaker 4 reported the proposal "comes out to 153,235." The superintendent emphasized this system is optional — the district is currently compliant with an intruder‑block solution — and noted the district would have to run a procurement/bid process for a contract of that size.
Board members asked procedural questions about quoting and bidding. Speaker 4 said the packet is intended as information for future budget planning and that the district would consider the system when it reviews capital needs during the budget cycle. The administration stressed that purchase is not required for compliance but could be considered to add an additional layer of security.
