Board advances building emergency response plans, approves second reading of district plan

The Shenandoah School District presented building-level emergency response plans and the Safe Committee membership during its study session; the administration also brought forward the district emergency response plan for a second reading with a minor update to cardiac emergency response language.

The administration said the board had reviewed the plans in executive session and that the building-level plans were presented for approval alongside the Safe Committee roster. "Tonight, we are presenting the building level emergency response plans that you reviewed in executive session for approval as well as the Safe Committee that goes along with that," the presenter said.

Board members asked whether the Safe Committee roster requires formal approval and were shown that names are listed within the policy document; the administration noted the roster can fluctuate as students and staff availability change, and that student representation is anticipated to include one or two students where possible.

At the second reading of the district-level emergency response plan, the administration said language was updated specifically to include cardiac emergency response protocols. No policy vote details were recorded in the study-session transcript; the presentation and second reading were advanced to the business session as part of the district's normal policy adoption process.
