Mamaroneck looks to ramp up installation of surveillance cameras

March

According to the Larchmont Gazette, the Mamaroneck school district is speeding up its plans to install surveillance cameras at the high school:

“There is $60K included for this purpose in the superintendent’s proposed budget for 2008-2009, but given the sense of emergency created by the bomb threats, the district wants to get started sooner. The Mamaroneck School Board voted on Wednesday, March 12 to begin implementing a process that would allow spending funds from the 2007-2008 budget for the cameras.

Before authorizing any expenditures, however, the board will be briefed further by the assistant superintendent for business operations, Meryl Rubinstein, on which systems are available and what they will cost.”
