NASHUA, N.H. — The Board of Education here approved a plan Monday to upgrade security at schools in the Nashua School District that could cost as much as $1.7 million.
The district wide access control project would add enhancements, such as cameras, intercoms and motion sensors at all main entrances and loading areas of city schools, The Telegraph reports. Additionally, key pads and other devices will also be installed at school entrances, as well as improve security awareness among students and staff.
The project first began in 2002; however, when the district discovered it had a budget shortfall in the 2009-10 school year, plans for the upgrade stopped. The news came shortly after the Board of Education had approved more than $2 million of security improvements.
The new proposal will include the installation of a computer system for monitoring security throughout the schools. It will be password protected and accessible only to select employees.
