Special Message Regarding the Safety of Students

This is a message to the educational family of Sevier County. Superintendent Jack A. Parton and the Sevier County Board of Education want each student, parent, employee, and community member to know that the safety of our children is of the utmost importance to us. In light of recent national events, please know that Superintendent Parton spent time this week reviewing safety procedures and expectations with principals and supervisors. Each school faculty will also spend time on Monday in continued review of safety procedures. Superintendent Parton also spent time this week talking with Sheriff Ron Seals about safety protocol and potential crisis intervention. Sheriff Seals and Superintendent Parton also met with County Mayor Waters, Mayor Bryan Atchley, Mayor David Wear, Mayor Mike Werner, and Mayor Kevin Howard to discuss ways that the school system and government entities can continue to work together to be proactive in making sure our children, faculty, and staff are as safe as possible.
