District thanks safety team for new vehicles, invites board to emergency responders advisory meeting
Summary
Superintendent and staff recognized the district safety team for new vehicles and invited board members to a superintendent's emergency responders advisory meeting planned for March; administration named agencies that will participate and said the session would be held at the district office.
Assistant or Chief of Student Services Dr. Harris and other administrators recognized the district safety team’s work and new vehicles at the March 10 meeting and invited board members to an advisory session with emergency responders.
Dr. Harris told the board the district has four safety officers — former law enforcement officers assigned to different attendance areas — who oversee daily campus safety. He thanked the board for funding four new vehicles and described how improved transportation has supported response capacity. "We've had vehicles that were using cords and bungee cords to keep the doors from opening while they were riding down the road," he said, praising the upgrade.
Dr. Harris invited the board to the superintendent's emergency responders advisory group meeting, describing it as a roundtable with local law enforcement, SLED, EMS, emergency management, the National Weather Service, highway patrol and state DOT. The transcript records both a March 20/26 reference in different places; administration later confirmed a March 26 advisory meeting at the district office boardroom as a planned event for board members.
The board asked whether there were any safety-related questions; staff said they are coordinating responses to current concerns and welcomed board participation at the March advisory session.
