Parkview Elementary doors found noncompliant; LaForce to provide quote and RFID access considered
Summary
Following an emergency-response incident, administrators told the committee two interior doors at Parkview Elementary were not compliant with current egress codes; the district had LaForce inspect the doors and will seek a quote and add RFID fob access to a staff/first-responder entrance.
During an update to the Buildings, Grounds & Transportation Committee, Administrator Bob Chady reported that an emergency-response incident revealed two interior doors between the education wing and the auxiliary gym at Parkview Elementary School were not compliant with current egress codes because they “utilize a latch lock and not a push bar release for egress purposes.” LaForce, the district’s door vendor, inspected the doors and will provide a quote for bringing them into compliance.
Chady also said the district seeks to equip the interior door nearest the parking lot with RFID fob access so staff and first responders can enter the education wing. The minutes record photographs were shown and that the doors are marked with “Exit” signs; no timeline or cost estimate for replacement or modification was recorded in the minutes.
