Parent asks North Scott board for community support following recent lockdowns
Summary
A parent addressed the board during public comments urging expanded community resources and support for students and staff after recent school lockdowns, praising district training while asking how the community can help.
During the meeting’s public comment period, parent Maggie Kelly urged the North Scott Comm School District board to consider ways the community can support students and staff following recent on-campus lockdowns.
Kelly thanked administrators and teachers for training and for acting “swiftly and effectively when risks have been present,” and praised the district’s emphasis on empowering students to report concerns. She told the board, “How do we keep our children safe? And how do we feel confident that when we send our kids out the door, they come home safely?” Kelly said there are no easy answers but asked the board and community to begin conversations focused on resources and support for affected students.
Kelly asked whether more resources are available for students affected by the incidents and whether the community can help support staff and students. She urged the board to convene community conversations and to share guidance about where people can volunteer or direct support.
Ending: Kelly closed by offering to help organize community follow-up and asked district staff to provide contact information so residents can volunteer to assist.
