School division highlights security vestibules, chiller replacement and other facilities work

Charlotte County Board of Supervisors and Charlotte County School Board (joint meeting) · March 18, 2025

Summary

Officials said grant funds installed single-point entry security vestibules at multiple schools and that HVAC upgrades — including a replaced chiller at Central Williams School — improved facilities; they also discussed use of grants to fund resource officer staffing.

School officials described recent facilities and safety work funded in part by grants, including security vestibules at Central Middle School and Eureka that force visitors through the office and reduce hallway access.

The school division official said the vestibules create a single point of entry at each building and noted an upgrade to a failing chiller at Central Williams School as an example of necessary HVAC investments. "We've utilized grant fundings to install security vestibules at both CMS and Eureka," the official said.

Officials also discussed staffing for school safety: the division received a grant to convert one School Security Officer back to a School Resource Officer and uses county-provided funds that are then allocated for sheriff deployment. Those positions and associated grants are a recurring part of the division’s budget conversations with the county.
