Board hears $50,000 proposal to add security cameras at grade school

During the FY27 budget presentation Superintendent Dr. Folby identified safety as a top priority and proposed installing security cameras at the grade school, describing the effort as “comparable to those currently in place at the middle and high schools.” He estimated the cost for the project at $50,000 and listed it as part of the FY27 safety investments.

The board did not vote on this specific project at the meeting; it was presented as part of the overall budget discussion. Administrators noted capital funding constraints and said some projects are being postponed while the district increases the capital repairs line from $100,000 to $150,000 for FY27.
