Several Escambia Schools Honored For Life Safety Improvements

July 21, 2017

Certificates of Excellence for Outstanding Achievement in the Annual Fire Life Safety Inspections were presented during the July Escambia County School Board meeting.

“The Department of Protection Services has worked very closely with school administrators to improve safety in the learning environment and in making continuous improvements in fire life safety.  Administrators and staff at all of our schools have dedicated considerable time and effort to reduce the risk of potential injuries and property damage.  Many schools have made significant improvements.  As a result district-wide life safety deficiencies have dramatically decreased,” said Superintendent Malcolm Thomas.

Schools recognized for reducing their deficiencies by 50 percent or more were: Beulah Elementary School, Scenic Heights Elementary School, A.K. Suter Elementary School, Sherwood Elementary School, West Pensacola Elementary School, Pine Meadow Elementary School, Booker T. Washington High School, and Tate High School.

The schools recognized for having 15 or fewer deficiencies were: Bratt Elementary School, Montclair Elementary School, Molino Park Elementary School and Ernest Ward Middle School.

Jim Bailey Middle School was recognized as the Most Improved School of the Year. Bailey went from 148 deficiencies in the 2013-2014 school year to only 33 in the 2016-2017 year – a 77 percent decrease.
