Not only will this help during the
school day but also if there is a major emergency and the community should need
a safe spot.
"In areas when power goes down and
schools are used as centers, like rescue centers for people to get food and
shelter, we could have a generator and that school could continue to run so the
community would have a place to come to," explained Kanawaha County
Superintendent Ron Duerring.
The generators were purchased through a
Community Participation Grant.
