Safety and Security

The bond proposes an update to security throughout the district, including improved entrances and communication systems. The school’s current security technology consists of “locked doors and security cameras,” according to School Resource Officer Mo Loridon.

“I think [cameras] plays a huge role,” Loridon said. “Not only am I watching them at all times, but the secretaries are watching them and I can remote into them so I can watch the cameras from home if I need to.”

An updated security system could mean doors from the original building, such as part of A-wing, would be able to lock from the inside, reducing danger for students and teachers during a lockdown. Math teacher Laurie Deuschle is in favor of this potential upgrade.

“I don’t keep my door locked on a regular basis because it’s annoying,” Deuschle said. “So, if we hear a suspicious noise, I can get that door locked before anybody could possibly come into our room.”

Thus, upgrading the current equipment is critical, according to Loridon.

“[Our security is] not weak, but with tech changes and the abilities we have now, we can just do better,” Loridon said.
