MIDDLEBORO — A Woburn workplace safety company will conduct a safety audit of the schools in September and present its findings to the district in October, Middleboro High School Vice Principal Andrew Dizel told School Committee members Thursday June 22.

A.C.T. For Safety was selected by members of the District Emergency Response Team to study the safety and security of all Middleboro schools and determine what the schools are doing well and what could be improved, he said. Dizel is a member of the District Emergency Response Team.

Representatives from the company will visit all schools both during the day and in the evenings to receive a full view of the operations. Nights can be busy at the schools, particularly at the high school, and can present different situations than an afternoon at the early childhood center, for example, Superintendent of Schools Carolyn Lyons said.

Interviews will also be conducted with building specialists, staff members and teachers and police and fire officials, Dizel said.

The company was selected from other choices because team members liked the firm’s familiarity with the state and its understanding of the state’s culture and the standards set by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, Dizel said. Company officials also have a background in public safety, law enforcement and school security, he said, which team members appreciated.

Community and committee members have expressed concerns at previous meetings above the timeline for reviewing the school’s security situation. 

Resident Sarah Zigouras questioned at Thursday’s meeting why the work couldn’t be done in the summer. “It feels like more of a pushoff,’’ she said. She worried that “another year’’ would pass with nothing having changed.

The company advised that this work should be done when classes resume to better gauge the flow of the schools when they are most active, Lyons reported. 

Committee member Chris Benson, who has been an outspoken advocate for the safety audit, asked whether parents could also be interviewed by the company. Dizel responded that “nothing is off the table’’ and that the company is “willing to work with us regarding what the community needs.’’

Lyons said the report will be disseminated in November but she cautioned that some findings may not be shared publicly because of security concerns. An executive session may be needed to share some of the information with the School Committee, she said. 

The audit will cost $9,950. Any subsequent expenses for work that might be recommended by the audit could be factored into the next year’s budget, Lyons said. Acceptance of the recommendations would “dovetail with the budget season,’’ which begins in the fall.

The timing allows the district to “make a plan’’ to accommodate the costs, Lyons said.
