During a recent government meeting, discussions centered on the future of school infrastructure and safety measures in the district. A new parent raised concerns regarding the timeline for the construction of a new school following the approval of a bond. Officials confirmed that there is currently no definitive date for when a new school would be built, emphasizing that decisions can evolve over time based on future needs and circumstances.

The conversation highlighted a historical perspective on land acquisition for school purposes, referencing a parcel purchased in 1974 that was sold two years ago due to the prohibitive costs of building on it. This example underscored the district's flexibility in managing land and resources, with officials noting that as long as there is a clear intent to utilize the land, it can be held indefinitely.

Safety was another critical topic, particularly in light of a recent lockdown situation experienced by parents and students. The need for enhanced security measures, including the installation of internal cameras at Craft School, was discussed. Currently, Craft lacks any internal surveillance, and the estimated cost to implement a camera system is around $140,000. Officials acknowledged the necessity of upgrading security across all district buildings, as many existing cameras are outdated or non-functional.

The meeting underscored the district's commitment to balancing infrastructure development with the pressing need for improved safety measures, as they navigate the complexities of funding and resource allocation.
