The Mountain View School District is looking to enhance security at the district. The district is in the process of applying for a $25,000 Safe Schools grant.<\/p>\n

The money, if awarded, would be use to purchase more walkie-talkies. District maintenance director Bob Taylor said the new walkie-talkies would give more of the staff access to the communication devices. He also said they had more features than the ones currently used at Mountain View with improved capabilities \u2013 including a one-touch panic button.<\/p>\n

Purchase of the walkie-talkie units would cost about $19,000. The remainder of the grant would be used to possibly add an additional camera unit, a DVR, and a security film that would cover safety glass on doors.<\/p>\n

The film would keep safety glass from shattering if an intruder attempted to break through the door, Taylor said,<\/p>\n

slowing down any threat to the school and allowing staff time to react with a lockdown.<\/p>\n

Board members indicated they would be interested in covering all of the glass entryways, beyond what the grant money would cover.<\/p>\n

New carpeting will be installed in the business office. After some discussion, the board also instructed Taylor to move forward with replacing the carpeting in the elementary music and band room.<\/p>\n

The district looks to replace the carpet in the library \u2013 which they said is about 24 years old \u2013 next year.<\/p>\n

Elementary Principal Christine Kelly said there are plans to renovate the shelving in the library next summer and replacing the carpeting at that time would make sense.<\/p>\n

The board approved advertising for an Assistant Business Manager, with applications due by Oct. 30 at 2 p.m.<\/p>\n

Dr. Christopher Lake reported that Mountain View sixth, eighth, tenth and twelfth graders will be taking part in the Pennsylvania Youth Survey which asked questions about exposure to drugs and alcohol, bullying, etc.<\/p>\n

The survey is anonymous and parents can view the questions asked in the administration office. Parents can also have their students opt out of the survey, Lake said. The survey will be given to students by mid-November.<\/p>\n

The Mountain View Alumni Association will hold its annual dinner on Saturday, Nov. 7 at the Montdale Country Club. About 30-35 students will also be attending this year\u2019s event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
