District-wide Safety & Security
Prop O Zero Tax Rate Increase
Wentzville School District Families & Staff,
In addition to a rebuild of Heritage Elementary and renovations at Holt High School and Wentzville Middle, if passed, Prop O — a zero-tax-rate increase bond — would provide $5 million in dedicated district-wide security upgrades.
$5 Million in District-wide Safety & Security
Safety and security measures may include, and are not limited to the following:
- Final phase of SafeDefend installation
- Added window safety film
- Upgraded and additional surveillance cameras
- Added high school guard houses
Past Safety & Security Investment
As promised, the District used Props C and S funds to create a more secure school environment. Using these funds, the WSD Safety and Security Committee voted to implement enhanced secure school access through Raptor, added ID/fob entry, approved the purchase of window safety film on all first-level windows, and approved the purchase of SafeDefend boxes in school classrooms.
