Brockport Central School District received the titanium level with honors, "2007 School Safety Excellence Award" from the Utica National Insurance Group. Brockport is one of 85 school districts and Board of Cooperative Educational Services in the state to receive the award based on exceptional policies and procedures. Utica National officials presented Brockport officials with a custom plaque and a $500 award for use in furthering safety efforts at its 27th annual school safety seminar. "This award for the third time shows just how much attention and dedication is given to safety and security by the staff at Brockport," said Darrin Winkley, interim school business official. Brockport has had a safety committee since 1991. The committee holds "table top drills" where members review made up scenarios to test emergency procedures. The committee examines how the district carries out safety and security and ensures that regulations comply with state law and board policy. It includes representatives from every school building, operations and maintenance, security, health and safety, athletics, transportation, food service, school nurse staff and PTSA and works closely with law enforcement officials.
