Major Thanks to ACS Maintenance, Custodial and Transportation Crews
Snow Clearing

The winter of 2009-2010 has certainly been a challenge for Alleghany County residents. With four major snowstorms since mid-December and four campuses to clear and maintain safety, our system maintenance and school custodial crews have worked around the clock during and after each snow event to clear all parking and public traffic areas.

One major concern is clearing fire exits. Yesterday at Sparta School maintenance and custodial staff and other volunteers all grabbed shovels to clear several inches of snow and ice from the long protected walkways around the building.

We extend sincere gratitude to all our dedicated maintenance and custodial staff. ACS bus drivers deserve recognition for transporting students safely and securely when conditions aren't perfect. Special thanks to our local Dept. of Motor Vehicles employees working endless hours to keep our roads safe and clear.
