Two Schools Getting New Security Doors

Kickemuit Middle School in Warren and Guiteras School in Bristol should be much more secure soon. 

The Bristol Warren Regional School Committee approved spending more than $58,000 for new exterior security and fire doors at the two schools at its meeting Monday night, Nov. 25.

The approval came with the recommendation of the fire chiefs in both towns. 

The doors will provide additional safety and fire protection, said School Committee Chairman Paul Silva. The doors will be installed when schools are not in session but probably no later than after the February school vacation. 

M & J Construction of Johnston was awarded the bids for both sets of doors. The doors at Guiteras have a price tag of approximately $30,500. The doors at the middle school have a price tag of almost $28,000.
