Board approves $39,708.30 eCard reader purchase for school exterior doors using security grant
Summary
The board authorized purchasing eCard readers and installation at three schools for $39,708.30; the 2024 School Security Equipment Grant covers $31,611 and the local share is $7,902.75. The contract with National Security and Door passed by voice vote.
The board approved a staff recommendation to use 2024 School Security Equipment Grant funding to purchase and install eCard readers at Hilda J. Barber Elementary, Warren County Middle School and Skyline High School. The total contract amount is $39,708.30; the grant covers $31,611 and the district’s local share is $7,902.75. The motion to approve the purchase and installation from National Security and Door passed on a voice vote.
Staff described the equipment’s intended function: "An e card reader… it scans in and allows unlock of the door instead of a master key," said the presenter, noting the system will initially be applied to exterior doors so the district can monitor who is unlocking doors and promptly deactivate cards if necessary. The presentation noted the grant-driven nature of the purchase and identified the local account that will cover the remaining cost.
