Trustee-approved tree work at Hewitt-Trussville High cited for sight-line and safety improvements
Summary
The board approved a consent-agenda tree service contract to remove or thin trees at Hewitt-Trussville High School after work with the Trussville Tree Commission and to improve camera and SRO sight lines.
Trussville City Schools included a tree-service contract with ACE Tree Service in its consent agenda and approved the recommendation after district staff said the work followed review with the Trussville Tree Commission and addressed safety and visibility concerns.
Dr. Martin told the board the district consulted the city’s Tree Commission before planning removals and thinning on the Hewitt-Trussville High School campus. Administrators said some limbs were obstructing surveillance camera views and school resource officers’ sight lines; the proposed pruning and selective removals were described as campus management and safety work.
The item was part of the consent agenda and was adopted by voice vote. The board emphasized that the campus’ natural character would be preserved while addressing safety needs.
