Oswego police, fire officials talk need for District 308 safety upgrades as part of $317 million referendum

On average, Oswego School District 308 deals with three police service calls a day, according to the district.That is one of the reasons why school district officials say making major security upgrades at all buildings is a priority in its $317 million bond proposal on the Nov. 3 election ballot.District 308 has said that $38 million of the funds would be dedicated to making those changes to all of its 22 school buildings. Police and fire officials offered their ideas for improvements when they joined district leaders at Oswego East High School on Tuesday for a community meeting about school safety and security.Planned improvements include installing secure entrances, where doors stay locked and visitor interaction happens away from student spaces. “A secure entry vestibule is basically a two-stage approach, where you have a locked outside door, allowing people to come into the secondary vestibule inside of another locked door,” Oswego Police Department Sgt.
