The first order of business for the new year is to do a building inspection looking for unsafe conditions. Over the years, many safety issues have been solved which makes the school a safer place for students and staff.
Each committee member assigned an area of a building. When the inspections are completed, a report of the findings is given to the Superintended, Building Principals, and Maintenance Department, and then a plan is put in place on how to make the correction.
