"Over the summer, District 86 installed the BluePoint emergency alert system at its buildings, including both high schools, for a cost of $188,000. The system includes blue alarm pull boxes, similar to red fire alarm boxes, th[r]oughout the schools.
One reason the district decided to install the new system was because there are areas in the schools where announcements over the public address system cannot be heard, such as the cafeteria and the gymnasium."
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
J Ader
