Superintendent updates: shelter readiness, new safety specialist and homecoming plans
Summary
District staff reported completion of school improvement-plan meetings, scheduled EOC and shelter training, confirmed Bowling Green Elementary remains a disaster shelter, and said Shadow Roberts has been hired as the district's safety specialist; board discussed homecoming logistics and grand marshal invitations.
During the Sept. 8 meeting, district leadership provided several operational updates. Staff reported that school improvement-plan meetings with administrators had concluded and that the district is scheduling Emergency Operations Center (EOC) 101 training and shelter training for staff who would work in shelters. The transcript records that Lane Schneider, identified as the county emergency management director, will participate in a district team meeting related to those plans.
The board confirmed that Bowling Green Elementary remains designated and coordinated with the sheriff’s department to serve as a shelter for residents — including those with animals — during hurricanes or other disasters. A board member asked whether the school maintains power and remains usable as a shelter; district staff confirmed that coordination with county emergency services is in place.
The board also mentioned the recent hire of Shadow Roberts as the district’s safety specialist; the board said she has "hit the ground running" and is starting to work in schools. The board discussed homecoming scheduled for Oct. 3, including parade logistics and grand marshal invitations; Doctor Albritton and two others had been invited but confirmations were pending.
No votes were required on these updates; the items were presented as information and operational coordination.
