Board weighs upgrades to cameras, auditorium lighting, sound and district network cabling
Summary
Administration proposed multi-year replacements and targeted upgrades: security cameras older than 10 years, auditorium light relays (lighting-only control board), Oakfoot sound system replacement, intercom speaker replacements, and Cat6 cabling for the district administration building.
Administration told the committee it wants to continue replacing security cameras districtwide (prioritizing systems older than 10 years or nonfunctional), and to upgrade other campus technology ahead of equipment failure.
Board members asked whether the proposed auditorium control board would also control sound. Mr. Krebs and Mr. Cor clarified the relays and control board would serve lighting only. The sound system in Oakfoot Elementary (over 15 years old) is on the replacement cycle and was recommended for proactive replacement to avoid last-minute scrambling during events.
Staff recommended replacing intercom speakers at Mount Rock and Oak Flat after recently updating Newville Elementary's system. The district also proposed updating Cat6 cabling at the administration building so its infrastructure matches other buildings that received upgrades in recent projects.
Board members asked for scopes and costs and were told staff will provide updated pricing and return to the board with funding requests if needed.
