Safety and Security

One of the safety components included in the scope of work is to ensure that all buildings have secure entries through the main office at all nine of the K-12 buildings. The bond allows us to complete that work at the five remaining buildings

All areas of new construction will integrate high wind shelters into the building plans. Building code requirements for constructing a high wind shelter requires reinforcing the walls and roof as well as placing additional protection on the doors and windows. Timmerman and Riverside are currently the only schools with high wind shelters
