Infrared screenings approved for local school district
(KMZA)--Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, thermal imaging systems will be installed at the entrances to Nemaha Central schools to detect the temperature of people entering the buildings.
The USD 115 Board of education approved the purchase of the infrared cameras Monday evening at a cost of $40,000.
Superintendent Darrel Kohlman said the cameras are very accurate and faster than taking everyone's temperature one at a time.
The Board also approved the addition of UV lighting systems to the HVAC systems at the district's two schools at a cost of nearly $36,000. Kohlman said the system will kill bacteria and viruses in the air.
In other business, the Board approved an insurance coverage proposal from SBS Insurance for the 2020-21 school year with the addition of cyber insurance for a total premium of $133,283. The premium is about $2,300 lower than the current premium due to higher deductibles.
