Schools received critical structural and technological upgrades, including additional access-control devices, expanded closed-circuit camera coverage, and enhanced perimeter security with fencing and gates.Building on this momentum, the District has begun several major security projects, including implementing electronic key boxes, constructing secure vestibules, installing Bi-Directional Amplification (BDA) systems to enhance emergency communications, and developing guardhouses at select sites. Together, these efforts demonstrate a safe and secure learning environment across all schools.FY26 SUPPORT FOR 2024 SALES TAX REFERENDUMThe Facilities Management Division is compiling a project list for the upcoming 10-year capital plan, which includes funding from the approved One-Half Cent Tax Referendum.
