And, Graden shared how Saline Area Schools reacted to the tornado warning in the middle of parent-teacher conferences.

In Saline, our administrators & staff worked to secure the buildings during parent/teacher conferences to protect the parents, students, and fellow staff.  They did an excellent job of communicating with each other & law enforcement, taking appropriate cover, and then getting everyone home when it was safe.
