Air quality
Clearview needs to correct an imbalance in climate control to improve air quality and reduce energy and service costs. Modern, efficient HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) systems would improve filtration and replace equipment that is not properly functioning. Proposed improvements would add air conditioning to the High School and Middle School gyms, hallways and any remaining instructional spaces without it.

Security

Security upgrades would include new exterior and interior doors, fire alarms with voice evacuation systems, security glass and anti-intruder hardware on classroom doors. The district recently upgraded the public address system. The system integrates with our new emergency lockdown notification system (LENS) and can send threat alert messaging. Proposed additions to the PA system include replacing speakers in classrooms and common areas and adding digital message boards. To address safety outside the buildings, the district would conduct a traffic study to improve the flow of buses and other vehicles following an approved referendum. Creating more separation between pedestrian pathways and traffic is another goal.

Generators

New emergency generators would replace old models that lack the capacity to support current building and technology needs. The upgraded equipment would keep the critical systems at both school buildings operating in the event of an outage.

Access to energy-savings funds

Clearview will achieve other efficient, cost-savings upgrades through the state's Energy Savings Improvement Program, which allows school districts to pay for specific projects using the value of the savings. Some projects are included in the referendum because they are necessary to support the ESIP-funded work, but they are modest in cost and do not qualify for ESIP funding.
