KOSCIUSKO —
After the school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Kosciusko City Schools Superintendent Tony McGee said there is a sense of “heightened awareness” throughout the district.
During the Monday night meeting of the KCS board meeting, McGee told the board that administrators have reviewed procedures that were already in place.
He also said he is looking into intercom systems and key pad entrances at the schools.
