Board authorizes staff to obtain Raptor visitor-management pricing
Summary
After evaluating the district’s current visitor-management system, the board authorized staff to obtain a price for Raptor and return with cost information and a potential budget amendment.
The Johnson City Schools Board voted to direct staff to obtain a price for the Raptor visitor-management system and return to the board with cost information.
The board discussed that some principals have become accustomed to the district’s current visitor system but overall staff judged it “not as effective as Raptor.” Board members clarified that returning to Raptor would require a budget amendment and that the first step is to get a per-school price and the terms of a year-to-year contract.
A motion to allow staff to pursue Raptor pricing and bring cost information back to the March meeting passed by voice vote. The motion did not finalize any purchase; staff will report back with specific pricing and funding options before any contract is approved.
