Healthy Kids Hero 2015
Gregg Smith, Director of Facility Services
and his
Salt Lake City Schools Facility Team
for their Facility Services Newsletter,
March 18, 2015 is the 78th anniversary of the 1937 TX School Explosion that killed more than 300 people, mostly students. Every year, in remembering the tragedy, I salute a Hero whose extraordinary sense of responsibility inspires excellence in school safety.
Honoring
an inspiring leader is part of a campaign to make March 18 a special day to bring
"safety" from the margins to the core of school and community
culture. (Lessons of the 1937 Texas School Explosion.)

Fresh Paint is an extension of Gregg Smith’s management philosophy “Communicate, Coordinate, Follow Through” and it is printed on every staff meeting agenda.
