School-mapping program no longer on chopping block after Gov. Inslee intervenes
State officials have found a way to save a school-mapping program designed to help first responders during emergencies such as school shootings.
On Tuesday, Gov. Jay Inslee tapped $500,000 from an emergency fund to continue the Critical Incident Planning and Mapping System, a software program that contains maps and emergency plans for the state’s K-12 schools and community colleges.
The mapping program, which would have been suspended July 1 due to a lack of funding, now will continue through next year, when the state Legislature reconvenes and can find permanent funding for it, officials said.
The software program contains maps, blueprints, building photos and emergency plans for roughly 2,400 public facilities throughout the state, including all of the state’s K-12 schools and community colleges.
