(WGTD)---Plans are on track to have controlled entrances in place at all Kenosha Unified schools by the next school year.
Seven schools currently have only a limited ability to restrict visitor access when classes are in session because their main offices are not close to exterior walls and entrances.
A referendum that included funding for $10 million worth of remodeling failed last year. But recent safety-related incidents prompted the school board to restart the planning process and find alternative funding sources.
Various factors have combined to enable administration to drop the projected cost estimate by $2.5 million. It's also recommending that the district dip into its reserves to finance the recalculated $7.5 cost.
The school board got an update on the plans last week.
