Attorney General's Safe School Initiative
Attorney General Steve Marshall presented Coosa Valley Academy with their third consecutive Safe School Initiative award on April 18, 2018. The school was one of ten schools in the state to be recognized in 2018. Attorney General Marshall shared the following:"In these times, we are all intensely aware of the serious responsibility our schools carry for the safe keeping of our children. Recent events have been heartbreaking reminders that we must remain vigilant and committed to provide the best protections possible in Alabama's schools. Each day that parents leave their children at school, they are entrusting what they hold most precious into the care of schoolteachers, principals, school resource officers, and other staff. With these awards, we honor those who have achieved particularly high standards and set examples that others may follow. In making this decision, judges noted many things that distinguished Coosa Valley Academy: the school's emergency 'Go Bags', a large number of security camera's, and excellent communication with law enforcement and parents about how to get information if an emergency arises."
