Resident raises safety concerns about propped doors and alarm use at district buildings

A resident who identified themselves during audience comments told the board they observed outside users propping exterior doors at district buildings and reported inconsistent adherence to alarm protocols. The speaker said they questioned a person propping a door and were told it "goes on every day," and they urged staff to stick to building protocols to reduce preventable incidents. "It's better to be proactive than rehab," the resident said, urging custodial and operations staff to enforce door and alarm procedures.

Board and staff members acknowledged the concern. The staff member presenting earlier in the meeting said the district is scheduling safety-committee and facilities-committee meetings in September and October and that the new district safety team leader, Matt Lombard, will play a role in laying out expectations and onboarding. No formal board action was taken; staff said they will follow up with operations and custodial leadership to reinforce protocols and to ensure building users understand restrictions on propping doors and alarm procedures.
