Ensuring the safety of our students is the top priority for our school district. Each year, we invite a team of first responders to conduct a thorough tour of both the interior and exterior of every school building. This practice allows them to provide valuable suggestions for enhancing school safety and familiarizes them with the layout of our schools. This year, we would like to extend our gratitude to the following individuals for their participation: Deputy Casey Brammell (Sheriff’s Office), Trooper Zach Haney (Kentucky State Police), Allen and Nancy Kuehner (504 Fire Department), Dale Howard (Sandy Hook Fire Department), Michael Wagner (School District Safety Coordinator), Jim Skaggs (Emergency Management), Caleb Skaggs (Dispatch), and Darren Newell (EMS and Isonville Fire Department).
