On the April 4, 2017 ballot, Windsor proposed new safety and security upgrades to their district. This proposition included changes to improve the safety of the students in the high school.

“There were two main projects that needed to be done at this building,” principal Jason Naucke said. “One was improving of the entrance, to make it a little more safe and secure.”

Right now, the doors are locked, but as soon as people are let into the school’s main entrance, they are immediately in the Commons. This gives people complete access to the entire school. People don’t initially walk into a closed off place where they have to check in.

This will soon change.

Naucke said, “The number one project that we want to address is having where somebody is buzzed in, and they’re buzzed in only into the office.”

This construction will significantly affect the main entrance. However, there will be another way to get inside the school once the construction starts. The students will enter through an entrance off to the side of the main entrance by the counselor’s office. The hope is that most of the construction takes place during the summer to lessen the distraction to the normal school day.

“The second project will be an expansion of the auditorium. Currently our auditorium seats just under 400,” Naucke said. “They are looking to expand that to where the auditorium could seat close to 700. Adding a balcony, trying to kind of bring it up to speed in terms of what you could do production wise.”

Eventually, the softball team should reap the benefits from the spring bond issue. A new turf softball field will be constructed if there are funds available.

“The project on kind of the back end, when all of that is addressed, is the addition of a softball field up top, where our current softball field is right now,” Naucke said.

Currently, the school is in communication with architects and they are having them create drawings to put up for bids. The construction will most likely start in spring of 2018.
