• Over the last six years, the Board of Trustees has authorized safety upgrades across the campus at a cost of over a hundred thousand dollars.

• Security cameras have been a large part of the expenditures, electronic locks, training and DialCare mental health services for their students aged 10 years and older have also been essential.

•All visitors will be directed to the campus to check in at the front office between the Red Building and elementaiy building.

• All campus visitors will be expected to park in the front parking lot adjacent to the old gym and elementary building during regular school hours.
