Summary
The Barker Central School District Board set a public hearing for Nov. 19 on revisions to the District-wide Safety Plan to incorporate requirements of Desha’s Law, including CPR/AED updates; adoption is possible at the Jan. 12 board meeting after a 30‑day public review.
Dr. Micaela Love, Principal, told the board the District-wide Safety Plan has been revised to reflect recent legal changes and that a public hearing is scheduled for Nov. 19 at 5:00 p.m. in the auditorium, with a 30‑day public review period preceding potential adoption at the Jan. 12, 2026 Board meeting.
The revisions noted by Dr. Love include additions tied to Desha’s Law such as CPR and AED updates (policy references discussed in the meeting included 5682 related to AEDs and 5681 on school safety plans). Board members did not raise questions during the first reading of related policies 5680–5684. The hearing will allow community review and comment before the board considers formal adoption in January.
