Right in the middle of our ILCD review by the Nebraska Department of Education the electricity went off for an hour and 10 minutes. During the blackout, the Fire Marshal made a scheduled visit to answer some questions concerning the upcoming classroom addition. The good news is that the Fire Marshal commented that the emergency lighting system was working fine.
The student energy level rose quickly once the lights went out, and the staff had to adapt their lesson plans. Everyone did their best to make the best of a bad situation. Some teachers moved their classes into the hall to take advantage of better lighting. The electricity came on just in time for the cooks to prepare the lunch and serve it on schedule.
The ILCD review showed that B-R is in compliance with special education rules and regulations and the school will not need to write a plan of improvement. And the Fire Marshal gave the okay for the design of the classroom addition.
