Cornwall School Board member wants district’s emergency evacuation plan
Cornwall School Board Member Thomas Sheppard wants a copy of the school district's emergency evacuation plan and he claims officials won’t give it to him.
Sheppard said yesterday that he has made the request three times and has not yet received the report. “I can only surmise that it is not available; that it hasn’t been done,” he said.
School Board President Christine Longinott said the last update of the plan was in 2003, and that school board members have that report.
Superintendent of Schools Tim Rehm told MidHudsonNews.com that the district’s plans are in place. “There’s no reason for us to think that our plans are not in order,” he said. “As a matter of fact, our plans are probably the best in the area.”
Sheppard also contends that local police have not received the plans; however, Rehm said they do, in fact, have copies of the current plan.
The school board reviewed the plan on Monday evening, Longinott and Rehm said.
