LOS ANGELES (KTLA) — The Los Angeles Unified School District board has approved a plan to upgrade safety at more than six dozen preschools.

The $7 million dollar plan, which includes security gates equipped with video cameras, is funded by a bond measure passed by voters.

Planning for the security upgrades at several campuses has been in the works for over a year.

Officials surveyed over a hundred preschools in the district and chose 76 to receive improvements that range from $50,000 to $200,000.

Most of the schools will get new security systems.

The projects are expected to be completed by the end of the 2013 school year.
