School safety was on nearly everyone's minds at Monday evening's meeting of the Jim Thorpe Area School Board following last week's deadly attack at an Amish school in Lancaster County and an incident in which bottles of ketchup were thrown at two Jim Thorpe school buses returning from the Minersville football game on Friday evening.
Before a full house, the members of the board unanimously approved a pair of motions designed to enhance safety at all of the district's three schools, the high school, the L.B. Morris Elementary School, both in Jim Thorpe, and the Penn Kidder Campus in Albrightsville.
