Long Lake Central working on safety plan

By PETE KLEIN

LONG LAKE—When the Long Lake Central Board of Education met on September 10, the board held off adopting a District Wide Safety Plan.

The District Wide Safety Plan was on the agenda to approve, but since there needs to be a public comment period on the plan, the board agreed to hold approval until next month.

Superintendent Noelle Short reported that that day was the first day with students in the building. All students were mask compliant. Staff and students are completing a daily health screening. Some busing logistics are still being worked out.

Two Superintendent’s Conference Days were held this week for staff. Time was allotted for the standard mandatory trainings. Christine Campeau from the Adirondack Experience held a virtual diversity training for all.

The custodial team has done a great job setting up classrooms, including our outdoor learning centers.

No visitors will be allowed in the building at this time. Anyone coming in must have an appointment and complete a health screening.
