The district has built secure vestibules at 17 elementary schools so far. Proposition 1 would fund them for 12 more schools. Other projects covered by the bond include roof replacements and other structural upgrades at 13 schools.
-Eagle River Elementary School’s secure vestibule features multiple security cameras, an online sign-in system and windows that allow school staff to see visitors as they enter. When Thomas Fenoseff walks up to the blue front doors of Eagle River Elementary School, he can’t walk right inside. Instead, he walks up to a camera lens and presses a button.
Staff can see him the whole time, either through windows or on security cameras. The school’s principal, staff, and even district security can see the high-def security footage at any time.On this year’s ballot in the April municipal election, Anchorage voters will be asked whether they support Proposition 1. The two-year proposal would issue $111 million in bonds for the Anchorage School District to construct and renovate schools.
“About 2018, when there was a rise in the number of school shootings and active shooter situations, we took a look at how to address and make our schools safer,” he said. “So we worked with local designers, we worked with APD, in developing crime prevention through environmental design standards to apply to our schools.”
“Right now, a parent or a visitor, if they get in — for example, somebody’s leaving and they pop in — they can walk right down the hall without really checking in,” he said. “To me, that’s the biggest advantage to having the secure vestibule. They’ll have to check in and walk through our front office before getting into the rest of the building.”
