Hollister – The Hollister School District is moving forward on plans to install surveillance systems at three of its schools by accepting bids for the cameras’ installation.
The district has plans to install security cameras at Rancho San Justo, Cerra Vista and R.O. Hardin. Administrators hope the video surveillance will both deter vandalism and help catch perpetrators in the act.
The plan to install security cameras had been proposed by district administrators this spring. But now the school sites have been selected, and the district’s business office is accepting bids from companies for providing and installing the systems.
The initial proposal calls for four cameras at both Rancho San Justo and Cerra Vista, and six cameras at R.O. Hardin. There also will be a circuit television and computer system needed for the security system. All cameras will be placed outside.
“It’s about maintaining the quality of our schools and not letting them get run-down,” HSD Chief Business Official Jack Bachofer said in a previous interview with the Free Lance.
