The installation of the new Main entry security system was completed today. The system will allow entry to the school building to be controlled from the school office. School staff are putting together a schedule for hours that the main entry will be open and hours it will be locked. The plan will be distributed to parents at Parent-Teacher Conferences tomorrow night and given final approval by the school board at the Board meeting Monday February 11.
The system is a buzzer/intercom system on the exterior wall of the building with an external camera focused on the front entryway (See pictures).
The camera is connected to two monitors and the Digital Video Recorder in the office. The buzzer/intercom button is connected to two portable phones in the office. The front door has a magnetic lock mechanism that can open the door by pressing a button on the mobile phones.
This may be an inconvenience to students, parents and patrons seeking entry into the building when the doors are locked, but it will improve building safety and security.
