Important local alerts are as close as your mobile phone
It seems that everyone has a cell phone nowadays and a new program implemented in cooperation with the Bates County Sheriff's Department is designed to get important, even lifesaving information to the public as soon as possible through text messaging.
The service provided by Nixle (www.nixle.com) is not only for emergencies- you can stay up to date with other information affecting our community such as traffic alerts, safety tips, local crime information and more.
Nixle currently works with over 4,600 public safety agencies across the United States and is well known for providing accurate, up to the minute information.
"This is a great way to get the word out" said Sheriff Chad Anderson today at the Adrian Business Expo. "There have been many times when we are working a situation and we need to notify those nearby. Likewise they may have information we need, but they aren't aware of what's going on. This will greatly help bridge the communication gap".
How does it work? Simply text your zip code to 888777 and you will be instantly registered to receive local alert text messages from Nixle. You may also receive alerts by email, mobile application or through your web browser- more information can be found on the Nixle web site at www.nixle.com.

Helping the Kansas City School District
From the desk of Senator David Pearce
Missouri’s students deserve an education that is equal to any across the nation. When a school district loses accreditation, it can have a major impact on those students’ futures. Since accreditation is tied to a district’s teaching processes, losing accreditation means that the district’s quality of teaching and student learning is in question. Among other things, unaccreditation can affect a student’s ability to get into college. No student that wants to continue on to higher education should have his or her future jeopardized.
