Flathead Electric Co-op’s Roundup for Safety Board on Feb. 8 awarded $34,356 in grant funds supporting six community safety projects.
Fair-Mont-Egan School, established in 1967, sought support to replace its campus security and emergency communications systems. The school’s intercom and entrance door are both beyond repair. As a result, campus-wide communications and securing the school’s entrance are both intermittent and unsafe.
Libby Connor presented on behalf of Fair-Mont-Egan, relaying to the board that when Montana Highway Patrol order an evacuation of the school’s playground due to an active threat in the area the school’s superintendent did not have a means of communicating that information to all of the staff.
