WCS Closes Schools Next Monday for Faculty Safety Reviews

independence

According to Carol Birdsong, all WCS schools will be closed on Monday, February 19, 2018, so all WCS faculty and staff can review school safety measures.

Below is the email sent out to all parents of WCS students:

School safety is of the utmost importance in Williamson County Schools. According to news reports, there have been 18 school shootings across our country in the last six weeks. While we have comprehensive safety plans in place, Dr. Looney has mandated that all plans be revisited, reviewed and reinforced immediately with all WCS personnel and law enforcement.  All WCS faculty and staff as well as the SROs serving our buildings will participate in this review.

As a result, school will be cancelled for students on Monday, February 19, 2018.  The School Aged Child Care programs will operate at snow day sites.

Dr. Looney apologies for the short notice, but he feels such an action is required. Thank you for your understanding.
