What happened: The board approved an agreement with KIT Network Cabling for an upgraded access control system.
Background: The system is for the hardware and the background software for the control system for all door access. The current system is more than 20 years old, and the upgrade would bring it up to date.
What it means: Using swipe cards, the new system will give the district the ability to track which access doors are being used and who has been going in and out. The district will be using Openpath Cloud Access Control System at an initial cost of $55,949, with an annual cost of $5,950 for subsequent years.
