Listening to Our Community
Throughout the facility planning process, safety and security were consistently identified as top priorities.
Community feedback emphasized two important themes:
Schools must remain safe, secure environments for students and staff
Investments should be thoughtful, responsible, and fiscally aware
That feedback directly shaped the proposed bond.
Safety and security improvements are included in Question 1, the base facilities package.
Why Safety Investments Are Included
School safety today includes both physical infrastructure and integrated technology systems.
Many existing systems across the district are aging or require upgrades to remain effective and reliable.
The proposed bond would support improvements such as:
Secure entry enhancements
Access control systems
Building-level safety infrastructure upgrades
Technology systems that support monitoring and communication
For security reasons, specific operational details are not publicly outlined, but all improvements are focused on strengthening existing protections and modernizing aging systems.
Long-Term Maintenance & Planning
Safety systems require regular updates and maintenance cycles, similar to HVAC, roofing, and other infrastructure.
The district has implemented improved preventative maintenance tracking systems to:
Monitor equipment lifecycles
Reduce emergency repairs
Plan scheduled replacements
Improve response times
Modern security systems must be maintained as part of a long-term facility strategy, not addressed only when failures occur.
Supporting Safe Learning Environments
Safety investments support:
Controlled access to buildings
Improved monitoring capabilities
Clear communication systems
Infrastructure designed to protect students and staff
These upgrades are part of maintaining facilities that meet current safety expectations and standards.
A Core Facility Priority
Safety and security are included in Question 1 alongside:
Roof replacements
HVAC upgrades
Parking lot repairs
CTE expansion
Early childhood improvements
Playground updates
Demolition of Olive Street building
These are foundational facility investments designed to preserve and modernize district buildings.
