Superintendent Charles Baker stated that the District is required to have a working school safety plan in place. The current plan is continually updated; however, a computerized program offered by US Life Safety, Inc. of Canonsburg (http://www.uslifesafety.com/) is currently available to all schools in Washington County at no charge for the first year. Under this program, critical information is in place and accessible to approved authorities in event of emergency situations and provides a framework for another level of preparedness and security for the District. The offer for this plan as it stands was approved.
