Safety efforts earn Mohonasen School District safety excellence award
April 2008
Mohonasen School District is one of 100
school districts and Board of Cooperative Education Services (BOCES)
in the state to receive the “2008 School Safety Excellence Award”
from the Utica National Insurance Group. This is the second year in
a row that the district has received this award.
“Safety and health concerns are a priority in our school districts.
Whether we are parents seeing our child off on the school bus,
teachers charged with the responsibility of educating, or staff who
maintain the facility, there is a common thread of attention to
safety issues,” said program initiator and Eastern Regional Office
Loss Control Manager James Kristoff. “It is with great pleasure that
we recognize those schools that not only take safety to heart, but
go above and beyond to provide a safe, healthy, and focused culture
for learning.”
Utica National’s School Safety Excellence Award Program helps
participating schools enhance overall safety through measurable
assessment. The program rates schools in 16 different categories,
from school playground safety to indoor air quality, with specific,
quantifiable data-gathering surveys.
