Emergency response capabilities for tragic events at schools will be the primary topic of discussion for the Brattleboro Selectboard at their next Tuesday meeting at the Municipal Center. The board will hear how Brattleboro’s response plan is “unlike any other in the state.”
In addition to the school response plan, the board will learn more about our general response plan for disasters and emergencies, will conduct staffing level reviews triggered by resignations of a dispatcher for the police department and an account clerk at the library, and will discuss forming a regional economic hub issue committee.
Attend in person or watch on BCTV.

MLK Day idea
I thought of a possible solution to the MLK Day issue.
1. Skip changing holidays around for employees. Let them keep the current schedule, or possible choose between whether they want MLK or Columbus Day off.
2. Free parking on MLK day. The main issue raised was the perception of tourists and visitors who expect free parking on national holidays. Give it to them.
Problem solved.
