Parents raise student‑athlete safety concerns as district audit flags security improvements

During public comment, Mrs. Atkins Carter and Dr. Bruce Carter raised concerns about student‑athlete safety, emergency action procedures, and personnel matters tied to the athletic program; the board did not take action during public comment. Later in the meeting, Assistant Superintendent Dr. Crawley presented a GFST safety and security audit finding an overall strong district commitment to safety while identifying items for continued attention including student identification badges, certain required signage, roof-access security, and fire alarm monitoring for the administration building.
