38 <br /> EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Page 115 <br /> virtual field trips tied to the curriculum. We will also work with local colleges and universities to <br /> recruit volunteer tutors to provide enhanced staff: student ratios and prioritize small group and <br /> one-to-one tutorials. Student impact measurements will include growth in reading and math <br /> skills, mastery of grade level priority standards, and social-emotional wellness. <br /> Safety and Security Enhancement— Phase I $52500 <br /> (Strategic Plan Goals: Student Success and Organizational Effectiveness) <br /> This request will enhance campus and district wide communication, school security, and <br /> community access through enhanced ADA upgrades. This will be a 3-year project containing the <br /> following items: <br /> • $225,000: Emergency digital radio systems to ensure effective and efficient <br /> communication during emergency situations. Current radio equipment is antiquated and <br /> inconsistent,rendering communication between school staff as substandard. The <br /> upgrades will allow direct emergency communications between the district office and <br /> each school. <br /> • $300,000: Intercom system(Interior and Exterior)upgrades or repairs to ensure clear <br /> communication for general announcements and during emergency situations. <br /> Additional phases of the project in years two and three will include upgraded panic alarm <br /> systems, security cameras and interfacing all security systems with non-proprietary <br /> equipment. Using proprietary equipment has resulted in increased costs, vendor specific repairs <br /> and the reliance on vendor specified non-compatible security cameras and access control <br /> devices. <br /> Increased Custodial Costs Related to the COVID-19 Response $8000 <br /> (Strategic Plan Goals: Organizational Effectiveness) <br /> Following the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and North Carolina Department of Health and <br /> Human Services (DHHS) guidelines to ensure proper standards are in place for daily sanitation <br /> and disinfecting has resulted in additional cost and personnel in order to keep buildings safe and <br /> clean. The use of part-time locally hired temporary workers along with a District rapid response <br /> team has assisted in cleaning when COVID related issues were reported. <br /> Temporary Services for the Human Resources Division $100,000 <br /> (Strategic Plan Goals: Organizational Effectiveness) <br /> To ensure organizational effectiveness and continuity of services, the District is committed to <br /> providing coverage for prolonged absences of classified staff members (clerical and support <br /> services) in schools or departments that would not otherwise be able to be covered by existing <br /> staff members. Due to the global pandemic, staff absences are exacerbated due to COVID related <br /> reasons. These funds will allow us to cover approximately 5,000 hours when the aforementioned <br /> staff members need to be away from work for an extended period of time. <br /> 00 <br /> Chapel Hill—Carrboro City Schools—FY 2021-22 Recommended Budget empower <br /> inspire <br />
