Amid the brewing controversy surrounding the sale of alcohol within the city limits of Olney and the sale of liquor in proximity to Olney ISD property, it is important that our school district weigh in and ensure that our position is clearly articulated to parents and the community.
Olney ISD makes school safety an utmost priority, and we place the health, safety, and well-being of students at the top of the list. In order to highlight this commitment to student safety, we would like to take this opportunity to elaborate on some of the ongoing efforts by Olney ISD to that end. Below is just a sampling of the commitments OISD is making to protect our students.

Olney City Council met Monday, Feb. 8, at City Hall. Mayor Rue Rogers called the meeting to order at 6:01 p.m. The Councilmembers present included Mayor Pro-Tem Tom Parker, Phil Jeske, Tommy Kimbro, Chuck Stennett and Terri Wipperman. The meeting began with an invocation by City Administrator Neal Welch.
The Citizen Comment Period was filled with a presentation by Oscar Munoz asking to reconsider the ban for vendors selling alcohol within 1,000 feet of Olney ISD schools. (Refer to the full article on Pages 3 and 4, along with Dr. Roach’s response on Page 8.)
Mayor Rogers motioned to accept the minutes from the Jan. 25 council meeting, and Wipperman seconded the motion. The mayor tabled agenda item 5, the 10-year Longevity Award, to Michael Jacoba until the next meeting where Jacoba is expected to attend.
