Byron-Bergen Central School earns safety award

Byron-Bergen Central School District is one of 85 school districts and Board of Cooperative Educational Services in the state to receive the "2007 School Safety Excellence Award" from the Utica National Insurance Group. Utica National officials presented the award at its 27th annual school safety seminar.

Byron-Bergen Central School District received a certificate from the insurance company to commemorate the district's safety efforts and a $500 award for use in furthering their safety efforts. "Safety and health concerns are a priority in our school districts. Whether we are parents seeing our child off on the school bus, teachers charged with the responsibility of educating or staff who maintain the facility, there is a common thread of attention to safety issues," program initiator and Eastern Regional Office Loss Control Manager James Kristoff said.
