#NHCgov Commissioners heard a presentation from County Manager Chris Coudriet on the work of the county, New Hanover County Schools, and community partners to discuss and develop plans to find near-term and longer-term solutions to make schools safer & prevent violence in our community.
After discussion, Commissioners directed county staff to move forward with research on improvements to school hardscape & education facilities, enhance reporting, monitoring & security measures, coordinate community care & support services, and eliminate education barriers.
The outline shared today serves as a starting point, and additional details of this plan, funding information, and program development will take place over the coming weeks and months and will be brought before the Board of Commissioners & the public prior to funding investments being made.
To help identify additional plans and solutions, a community survey has been launched to get input from residents about how to shape this ongoing work. Learn more and take the survey:
