Park County Superintendent Lisa Rosberg told the Board of County Commissioners on June 3 that she has reestablished the Park County Interdisciplinary Child Information and School Safety Team and delivered the annual report required by state law.

Rosberg said the report is mandated by statute: "this report is actually mandated per MCA 52 2 Dash211." She told the commissioners the team held three meetings this year and that attendance and meeting topics would be the substance of her report.

The team was formed after a 2019 county resolution, Rosberg said, and meetings paused during the COVID-19 period until she revived the effort after taking office. She said the meetings are not open to the public and that the group does not take official minutes because confidentiality laws limit record keeping: "these meetings are not public," Rosberg said. Attendees take individual notes for follow-up in their districts, she added.

Rosberg reported attendance of 22 for the first meeting, 13 for the second (which focused on chronic absences) and 12 at the May 1 meeting, which covered threat assessments, ICE warrants, student transfers and students in need of intervention. She said participants include representatives from all Park County school districts, law enforcement, CASA and the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS).

Rosberg said the team set meeting dates for the coming year and that she will send invitations in the fall. "We've got 4 meetings scheduled already for next year in this room," she said, listing Thursdays from 2 to 3 and noting dates as September 18, November 20, February 12 and "the thirtieth" (month not specified in the meeting).

Commissioners asked whether information is shared when a student moves between districts. Rosberg said disciplinary records transfer through official record transfers, but "some of these deeper issues" are not generally part of official records and that the confidential, face-to-face meetings are a mechanism to share that information across districts.

No formal action was required or taken; the item was presented as an informational report to the Board of County Commissioners.
