Agenda Item Title:  Perimeter Control Update (40 minutes)

Estimated Time:  40 min

Person Responsible: 

Rebecca Westover Ed.D.

Chief Business Officer

Background: 

Parents and staff members shared their concerns about potential violent events that are reflected in fence recommendations in the MVWSD Master Facility Plan and the Safety Town Hall. 

With unknown conditions to start the year, the need to have perimeter controls ready to stop non-screened students and adults from entering campus and to ensure that masks are worn on campus. CSEA and MVEA were clear during negotiations that screening every person on campus was needed for them to feel safe to return to campus with students.  Additionally, the perimeter controls would add additional security and violence prevention.
