Hello Clippers,
Here is an update on school safety for the 2022-23 school year:
The Columbiana Board of Education has hired an additional Resource Officer from the Columbian Police Department. Officer Jake Kellner will join Officer Rich Burbick, adding a resource officer to each school campus at all times during the school day. Please welcome Officer Kellner to our schools. Additionally, the district has updated the districts Threat Extinguishers and response lanyards. We anticipate utilizing all resources during our next full scale safety drill. Staff, students and parents will be notified of the upcoming drill. Also, each building has been awarded a $50,000 safety grant that will increase video surveillance and add Window film to each entrance eliminating the ability to see into the school from the exterior of the buildings. All great additions to the safety of our schools.
Clipper Families. This is a reminder to make sure you update building settings within the Clipper app to ensure you are receive all applicable notifications. If you have a student moving to a new building, now participating in athletics, or new to school transportation make sure you include that building/topic for notifications. To do this, go to the clipper app, click on menu, settings, and my schools (check all that apply). Then, click notifications, and check all that apply.
Have a great day & Go Clips!
