District Improves Campus Security
Assumption Parish Schools is investing nearly $900,000 this summer into safety measures that will improve the overall security of the campuses receiving improvements.
Three campuses – Assumption High School, Napoleonville Middle and Napoleonville Primary – are being reconstructed to create single point entries with electronic lock systems. Campus visitors will be given monitored access to secured waiting areas that restrict traffic on campuses.
Maintenance Director Dwayne Aucoin said contractors are utilizing existing classroom and storage space in the campuses’ main hall areas to create the secured entrance areas.
He said the improvement also include a new 8-foot security fence around Napoleonville Primary School.
