Paducah Public Schools administrators, student resource officers, and area emergency responders are doing walkthroughs of our buildings as we prepare for the new school year. An emergency responders' school building walkthrough is a vital component of school safety, involving a systematic review of the school's layout, hazards, and emergency procedures to enhance preparedness and response capabilities. This process allows first responders to familiarize themselves with each building's structure, identify potential risks, and develop effective strategies for various emergency scenarios.

The Paducah Board of Education will hold its regular monthly meeting at 5:00 pm Monday, July 21, 2025, at the Paducah Innovation Hub, 500 South 25th Street, Paducah.
