The security into Bowling Green High School will be improved by the start of classes this fall.
At Tuesday’s school board meeting, Buehrer Group was given the go-ahead to remodel the high school office
and add a door between the two sets of doors in the vestibule.
Now, visitors are rung into the school and must turn right to enter the school office.
With the changes, the entrance door will be immediately inside the outside set of building entrance
doors.
The goal is to increase security similar to the middle school.
Kent Buehrer said the goal is to make construction as minimal as possible. The work, which he estimated
will cost less than $100,000, should be completed by July 31.
The plans also call for moving the office reception area, reconfiguring the principal’s office, and
removing an office wall to make a conference room.
The board also named Robert Yenrick, now high school assistant principal, to executive director of pupil
services at a $96,000 salary. He replaces Amy Scherer, who is leaving the district.
The board accepted resignations from Cori Boos, Kimberly Knepper, Valerie Hayden and Elizabeth Buss; and
the retirement of Donna Zielinski, special needs coordinator, among others; and hired Kevin Bosl, fourth
grade; Rachel Fletcher, second grade; Louis Piszker, secondary phys-ed; and Allison Thompson, secondary
family and consumer sciences.
