District plans camera, intercom and cabling upgrades across schools

Big Spring School District Board (committee meetings) · October 7, 2025

Summary

District staff told the board they will continue replacing security cameras older than 10 years, upgrade intercom speakers at Mount Rock and Oak Flat, and update Cat-6 cabling at the District Administration Building; technical staff explained middle-school lighting relays and control-board work.

District staff said they plan a multi-site technology refresh in summer 2026, including replacing security cameras more than 10 years old or not functioning, updating intercom speakers at Mount Rock and Oak Flat, and upgrading Cat-6 cabling at the District Administration Building to keep pace with infrastructure needs.

On the middle-school auditorium lighting, a technical responder explained the function of relays and a control board: "The control board gets installed back by the electrical panel... when we turn the lights off, those relays are what shuts the power to..." (explaining why installing relays would extend the life of power supplies and reduce frequent replacements). Staff said they will get pricing and return with budget numbers for board approval.
