Virginia's Albemarle school district to spend $1.5M on security upgrades
With about $4 million in savings from the current fiscal year, Albemarle County Public Schools in Charlottesville, Virginia, will update classroom technology and school security systems.
About $1.5 million of the funds will go to proposed security upgrades, including a buzz-in camera system at the front entrance of each school as well as electronic access badge systems. The school district serves more than 13,500 students and employs more than 1,300 teachers across more than 25 schools and sites.
