Schools require residency proof

Fayette County public schools are conducting the first residency verification in eight years to make sure only eligible students are enrolled.

By Aug. 19, parents must provide an electric bill dated within 60 days that includes the parent’s name and address (which must match the service address). Parents of enrolled students have received an email to which they can reply with a scanned copy or photograph of the electric bill, along with the names and schools of all children at that address.

The document can also be brought to the children’s schools or to the Enrollment and Records Center at 205 LaFayette Ave. in Fayetteville.

City to host active shooter meeting

The Union City Police Department will hold a meeting to discuss and prepare the community for an active shooter emergency at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Etris Center, 5825 Lakeside Drive.

Union City aims to enhance preparedness of dangerous shooting situations by providing training to its citizens that includes knowledge of life preserving strategies.

The topics addressed at the meeting include active shooter awareness, incident response and workplace violence. While there is no pattern or method to the selection of victims by an active shooter and these situations are unpredictable and evolve quickly, Union City Police will talk about emergency situations and give tips proven to preserve life and reduce injury.
