🚨PLANNING FOR SAFETY🚨
The Martin County School District was one of the first school districts in Florida to be in full compliance with Alyssa's Law, which requires schools to have a mobile panic alarm system in place to notify local law enforcement in case of an emergency.

🍎PLANNING FOR HEALTH AND SUCCESS🍎
On Thursday, August 5, the Martin County School Board approved Superintendent John D. Millay's recommendation that the District hire additional nurses to assist with required contract tracing processes in the coming school year. While the Florida Department of Health in Martin County (DOH Martin) has applied for a grant that would fund these positions if approved, Dr. Millay and the School Board believe it is important to begin the school year with these important health professionals in place and assisting our schools.
WPTV's Todd Wilson spoke with Dr. Millay about why these positions are a priority for the District. Read more here: https://www.wptv.com/rebound/state-of-education/martin-county-school-district-hires-more-nurses
