So I thought I would break down 11 new security and safety upgrades at the various schools around Richland thanks to the RSD posting.

• Chief Joseph Middle School: Work on the new secure vestibule and entrance has been started. Demolition of the existing office space is underway.

• Hanford High Safety & Security Updates: Renovations to the canopy and new secure vestibule at the front entry, as well as fencing installation between the commons and the tech/photo classroom building are in progress.

• Jason Lee Elementary: A new secure vestibule will be created inside the main entrance and will also include modifications to the visitor counter and office space.

• White Bluffs Elementary: Windows will be added to the office as well as a new wall with doors to separate the office from the main hallway. The secure vestibule will include access control devices and direct entry into the office.

• Wiley Elementary: The current secure vestibule will be enlarged, and windows will be added. The office will be remodeled to allow for better flow for visitors and parents.

• Carmichael Middle School: The existing entrance and foyer will be modified to create a new secure vestibule. A new office will be constructed adjacent to the entrance that will include several workstations.

• Enterprise Middle School: New interior secure vestibule doors and a controlled door directly into the office from the vestibule is planned for this site with minor modifications made to the office layout.

• Richland High School: A new secure vestibule will be created at the front entrance, along with office space for staff in the current location of the student Gesa window.

• River’s Edge High School: A new door, window and sidewalk will be installed to allow for improved visitor management and visibility to individuals arriving to the school.
