(As submitted by Bowling Green City Schools)
Bowling Green City Schools is announcing an opportunity for community members to Adopt-A- Door. On Tuesday, October 18, 2016 the Bowling Green City Schools Board of Education approved implementation of “The Boot” security device. This will increase the safety and security of our students and staff in the event of a school lockdown due to a threat of an intruder. Once the Boot is engaged in a matter of seconds, it can withstand 16,000 lbs. of pressure preventing the door from opening. The cost of the Boot with installation is $200 per door. There are 344 doors within the district that will have a Boot installed. These devices can and will be moved to any new location at no additional cost in the future.
The Adopt-A- Door program is designed to offset the cost of the device and installation for the district. If you are interested in sponsoring a classroom door, please contact the School Treasurer, Rhonda Melchi or School Superintendent, Francis Scruci. Your donation will be acknowledged with a name-plate attached to the Boot for that classroom. Checks can be made out to: Bowling Green City Schools and either mailed or dropped off at 137 Clough Street, Bowling Green, OH 43402. Please indicate which classroom that you are interested in sponsoring. Sponsorships will be assigned on a first come-first served basis. The $200 is a tax deductible contribution.
The students and staff of the Bowling Green City Schools thank you for your continued support. Together we can make this district a great and safe place to learn.
