During a recent government meeting, Mr. Gierbough highlighted the recognition received by the PADOC from the Washtenaw Council for Children for its Body Safety Program. This initiative, which was previously presented to the Sex Education Advisory Board (SEAB), has garnered strong community support for its comprehensive approach to children's safety education.

The Body Safety Program covers essential topics such as fire safety, poison prevention, recognizing inappropriate touch, and firearm awareness, all tailored to be age-appropriate for students. The program's implementation was met with enthusiasm from both the SEAB and the board, reflecting a collective commitment to enhancing student safety.

The meeting also included a warm welcome to new students, emphasizing the community's eagerness to engage and collaborate with them. The positive feedback surrounding the Body Safety Program underscores its significance in fostering a safe learning environment for children.
