New Board policy bans all smoking on school property
Fremont Public Schools officials recently announced a change in the district’s tobacco policy.
The school district’s new tobacco policy, as approved by the school board, reads: ‘Tobacco products shall not be used by any person in District buildings at any time or on District property at any time.”
“In order to set a positive example for our students and maintain a healthy environment for everyone, we updated our tobacco policy to clearly prohibit the use of all tobacco products on school property,” said school Superintendent John Kingsnorth. ‘The safety, health and overall well-being of our students will always be our first priority. We believe this policy reflects this commitment to our students and community.”
Copies of the tobacco-free product policy have been distributed to all school employees and are available for students and visitors. People who have questions regarding the change in policy are invited to call Fremont Public Schools at 924-2350.

S3 Committee Identifies Four Potential Fremont High School Sites
S3 Facilities Committee member Dave Byrne made the presentation to the board, beginning with a quick review of the committee’s process. According to Byrne, the committee began its discussions by developing a master plan for the district, focusing on needed repairs and areas of improvement.

Byrne said that the need for vast changes and improvements in the high school facility was so apparent, the committee decided to divide into subcommittees and study the possibilities for updating the facility. Each subcommittee ended up studying not only the existing high school, but also possible sites for a new facility. In the end, four possible areas were identified by the committee, including the current high school location, property north of NCRESA, a site on the current middle school property, and on the fairgrounds’ property. …Full Article
