The first day of classes in the Floyd County school system is this Wednesday and today all of the faculty and staff district-wide gathered at the Mountain Arts Center to get ready. It has become a tradition in Floyd County for all of the staff and faculty to gather at the Mountain Arts Center before the first day of classes for a district-wide pep rally. We're all one team. Nobody's more important than the other. We're all one team. That's from the top to the bottom. That's from me, down to my administrators, my teachers, my support staff, my bus drivers, cooks, maintenance, everybody. We're all a team and we do this for the students of Floyd County. And to say there was excitement in the air would be an understatement. I have never seen anything like it. There's so much energy and enthusiasm here. The mood took on a more serious tone after lunch when members of the Floyd County Sheriff's Office talked to the staff about ways to handle a school shooting scenario. We're going to present what's called a CRASE training. It's a civilian response to active shooter encounters. The message was one that educators have heard many times, but Sheriff John Hunt says this information cannot be shared enough. It's just like coaching a football team or basketball. That's why you practice. In law enforcement, that's what we do. That's why you go so long in training is that repeated over and over and over occurrence is how you get it into your system, into your mind of what you're supposed to do. And I bet you that most of them in their mind every day go through some kind of scenario, even before they come to work maybe. During the course of their work, I'm sure there's some thought that went through their mind about what if something happened, what would I do? The first AF class in Floyd County is this Wednesday. In Prestonsburg, I'm Shannon Deskins, The KB News.
