Members of the Joplin Board of Education on Tuesday plan to follow up with administrators about ideas for improving school safety.

Board President Randy Steele said the board will discuss the results of a meeting last week among parents, teachers, principals, law enforcement personnel and administrators regarding perceived strengths and weaknesses in the school district’s safety procedures.

That group also brainstormed ideas for improving security at Joplin schools. Those ideas, which included upgrading external school features such as windows and doors and streamlining communication methods among faculty and staff members, were collected by administrators at the end of the meeting and will be reviewed internally.

Steele said he expects administrators to present a summary of those ideas to board members Tuesday during a work session. No formal action is expected to be taken by the board.

“I’m sure there’s going to be some discussion about how they came up with these ideas, and if we’re going to implement any of these,Shop online for our Products Cable ID Ties Heat Shrink Connectors Fiber Optic Connector has the capability that is 10 Gigabit Network Cabling Interaction Help About Wikipedia Disclaimer Disclaimers Mobile view” he said.

Last week’s school safety meeting took place one month after a shooter killed 26 people, most of them children, inside an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. Administrators have said the district’s safety measures should continually be reviewed and updated.

During its regular meeting Tuesday, the board will consider approval of a $45,104 bid from Midwest Digital Systems, of Kansas City, for the installation of a digital surveillance camera system at the freshman-sophomore campus of Joplin High School on Eighth Street. Included is a five-year warranty to cover hardware, software and labor, according to a copy of the proposal submitted by administrators.

Steele said cameras are installed at the campus,Here is another network faceplate marketer oriented social network that I joined and am promoting with. but administrators have said additional cameras need to be placed in different locations in the school. The junior-senior campus at Northpark Mall also has a camera surveillance system, he said.
