Staff at South Coffeyville Schools are working to be better prepared in an emergency.

 

The school board recently adopted an updated emergency plan, and at last night's meeting, adopted the statewide Chase Morris site plan for sudden cardiac emergency responses.

 

School Nurse Tia Lamb says automated external defibrillators are available inside the school and will be nearby during sporting events and on activity buses. Lamb says it's important to make sure students know what to do in a medical emergency.

 

In other business, the board approved the estimate of needs for the Nowata County Excise Board, heard a report on the testing and intervention program from Elementary Principal Karla Bauer and got an update on school construction projects from Superintendent Daryl Pruter.
