The Westminster School District will permit its schools to be used by the Red Cross for shelters during public emergencies.
The school board unanimously approved the resolution as part of its consent calendar. Under the agreement, school officials would allow the Red Cross to use schoolrooms, equipment and cafeteria food as needed to provide for those seeking disaster relief.
The Red Cross will also reimburse the district for the cost of any supplies used, and also pay for school ground maintenance for the duration of any relief effort.
