After a few weeks of deliberation and ironing out details, the district will enact a set of new security measures for the upcoming school year and beyond. “I hope this exemplifies that we are taking the situation seriously, because we are,” said Superintendent Kellen Adams. The new protocols coincide with recent upgrades at each of the district buildings, which were partially funded by the state through the Safe and Secure Schools grant. Visitors will now be required to buzz in through a video doorbell prior to entering a district building, and front doors will remain locked throughout the school day. Once inside the corridor area, an intercom will be utilized for front office personnel to communicate with visitors before allowing entrance into the office.
