The Marshall Public Schools Board meeting on March 2, 2026, focused extensively on emergency management and safety protocols within the district. The emergency management team, led by Trisha, reviewed updated procedures including the use of modern platforms like Crisis Go for real-time incident communication and Geocom for mapping critical building points, supported by a state grant. The board also discussed staff training initiatives such as the upcoming Alice training and community partnership tabletop exercises to enhance coordinated emergency responses. Additionally, the board approved the annual service cooperative membership agreement and the achievement and integration plan aimed at reducing achievement gaps and increasing graduation rates. A notable new program, Tigers to Teachers, was introduced to support paraprofessionals in becoming licensed special education teachers through a three-year apprenticeship and college program funded by a Department of Labor grant, addressing staffing challenges in special education.
