Warren County School Board has made significant strides in improving school facilities, as reported during their February 1, 2025, meeting. The board announced the successful installation of new solar-powered traffic lights, which are now operational. This upgrade not only enhances safety but also aims to reduce energy consumption by transitioning from older systems.
In addition to traffic safety improvements, the board has completed upgrades to intercom systems across several schools, including West, Bobby Ray, Hickory Creek, and the new addition at Center Town. These enhancements are expected to facilitate better communication within the buildings, moving away from outdated speaker systems.
The meeting also addressed ongoing projects, including the COVID center, where updates were provided on structural plans awaiting implementation. The board confirmed plans to meet at the center during the March meeting, regardless of project status, to ensure continued oversight.
Furthermore, updates were shared regarding the installation of blinds at Warren County Middle School, with the order placed and installation anticipated to proceed swiftly once the manufacturer delivers the products. The board is also awaiting final approval from the fire marshal for construction at West Elementary, having received verbal approval but needing stamped drawings to commence work.
These developments reflect the board's commitment to enhancing the educational environment and ensuring safety across the district. As these projects progress, the community can expect improved facilities that support both student learning and safety.
