NWCS considers student safety in emergency situations

At Tuesday's meeting Northern Wells Community School board members held a lengthy discussion with local emergency services workers to determine the best practice for notifying parents in the event of a bus accident. Following last weeks minor accident involving an Ossian Elementary School bus some parents were concerned because they were not contacted until 40 minutes after the crash.
According to Ossian Police Chief Dave Rigney, that was the best the school could have done given they did not have information on all the students until then. He said there was no point contacting any parents until all the students were secure.
