Superintendent's Open Letter on School Safety Policies

Edmonson County Superintendent of Schools Brian Alexander has released the following open letter to the Edmonson County community:

Edmonson County: 
In light of the ongoing concerns regarding school safety that touches not only Edmonson County, but also our entire nation, I want to take a moment to speak on the efforts of Edmonson County Schools to ensure the safety of all students and staff at our schools. 

No threats have been made against our schools, or by any of our students. Please rest assured that when rumors and reports of any such activity are reported to our administration or staff, we follow up on every possibility. EVERY possibility. We have a great working relationship with our local and regional law enforcement teams, and no stone is left unturned when a report comes to our school district. Many times, this extends well beyond school hours. 

The efforts our Board has made to secure our buildings are second to none and far SURPASS the requirements that we have been given by state authorities. We follow all practices set forth by the State School Security Marshal. We have the finest School Resource Officers in the state of Kentucky and a caring staff that never discounts a report. When we say that the safety of our students and staff is always our number one concern that is not idle talk. We work 24 hours a day, seven days a week to make our schools safe. 

Thank you for your continued trust as we work together through this troubling time, and for your partnership in maintaining a safe environment for our students and staff. 

Brian Alexander
Superintendent,
Edmonson County Schools
