Election Security for Sanderson

Tonight, the Select Board and School Board members met with Superintendent of Schools Michael Buoniconti, Sanderson Academy Principal Budge Litchfield, and Interim Police Chief John Cotton to discuss the safety of school children during elections held at Sanderson Academy. The meeting was prompted by complaints over inadequate police protection during the senatorial election of January 19.

Earlier this week, Chief Cotton was invited to tour Sanderson and offer suggestions. He described a security protocol made up of several overlapping layers ranging from the building’s security cameras, to staff awareness of security concerns, to adequate police presence during elections.

With Chief Cotton’s input, Buoniconti and Litchfield will develop security protocols that will be incorporated in the building’s use guidelines. Litchfield also said concerned parents are welcome to offer their input.
