Safety upgrades continue to be the focus of the Caney School Board, with windows in high traffic areas the main topic in last night’s meeting.

 Superintendent Blake Vargas says it’s a balancing act between spending what the budget will allow for upgrades to the windows, and installing what would have the greatest security enhancements for the schools. He says there are two types of windows the board is considering.

 Vargas says safety protocols have changed, with school officials controlling the first level of doorways, so no one can enter any level of a building without permission, especially during student arrival and departure times. Vargas says it’s been a great year in Caney Schools, as they focus on every student every day this year, into the transition to next year.
