According to school officials in the Ada Elementary Back to School Newsletter:
“In an effort to keep improving security for the safety of our students, Ada Schools applied for and received a grant to fund the improvement of the main entrance to our building.
“Improvements for the 2014-15 school year include new doors to the elementary and high school offices and also an electronic entry system with an intercom.
“Once school begins at 8:35 a.m. each morning the doors from the vestibule to the high school and elementary offices will be locked.
