The Benjamin Logan Board of Education met for its planned July meeting, on Thursday, July 11th.
Four years ago, the Logan County Sheriff’s Department and the Logan County Schools Administration recognized the need for comprehensive preparedness in response to the increasing number of school shootings. As a result, they initiated annual ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate) training sessions before the start of each school year. Each year, a different school district hosts the training. Benjamin Logan Schools will host the county-wide ALICE training on August 9th.
Attendance is mandatory for all Benjamin Logan staff members, and those who participate will receive a $100 stipend.
The district accepted a $10,000 grant from the Martha Holden Jennings Foundation to support the continued implementation of the Collins Writing Program at the middle school. Consultants will provide modeling, examples, and direct feedback to help teachers integrate these strategies into their classrooms.
The following resignations from the district were accepted:
- Marleen Godsey, High School Teacher
- Ashley Robinson, Food Service Worker
A new staff member was added. Brooke Thompson will be a custodian for the district, and Curtis Butler was added as a substitute custodian.
