Warren County School Board approves MOU allowing ATF training on district properties
Summary
The Warren County School Board unanimously approved a memorandum of understanding permitting the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to use district facilities for training, with the superintendent authorized to sign the agreement.
The Warren County School Board voted to authorize a memorandum of understanding allowing the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to use Warren County Public Schools facilities for training exercises and emergency-preparedness coordination.
Dr. Gosner, who presented the agreement, said the ATF has a ‘‘very positive working relationship’’ with the district and that continued collaboration could improve response times and provide the district an outside perspective on facility safety and needed repairs. The board moved and approved the agreement by voice vote; the superintendent was authorized to sign the memorandum.
Board members who spoke in favor said district facilities can benefit from the partnership. Mr. McFadden formally moved approval and the motion was seconded and adopted without recorded roll-call counts. Dr. Gosner noted that use of facilities for training is intended to foster collaboration and build trust between law enforcement and the school community.
The vote completes the board’s authorization for the administration to finalize and sign the MOU. No implementation timeline or specific training dates were provided during the meeting.
