District staff gave a multi-part presentation on school safety procedures, emergency communications and behavioral threat assessment protocols.

Presenter Stephanie reviewed statutory drill requirements: monthly fire drills, two earthquake drills per school year, and two safety-threat drills (which may include lockdowns, secure procedures or shelter/evacuations). She explained the practical difference: a lockdown responds to a threat inside the school; a secure locks exterior doors while learning continues if the threat is outside.

CJ summarized the district’s approach to behavioral safety assessments, citing the U.S. Secret Service research that underpins the model. "The assessment itself has a very narrow focus. It's literally looking for a plan," CJ said, and emphasized that the tool is not for profiling but for identifying attack‑related behaviors that indicate elevated risk.

The district described its two-tier process: building-level Level‑1 teams (two to four trained staff in most schools) conduct initial assessments and, if warranted, refer to a district Community Safety Assessment Team (CSAT) that includes local partners such as city police, the county district attorney's office and regional behavioral-health agencies.

Staff also urged families to keep ParentSquare contact information current and to avoid driving to schools during active drills or responses to avoid impeding first responders. The district highlighted an anonymous reporting portal (Safe Oregon) for tips and said it aims to host a reunification drill in June to test transporting and reuniting students with families.

What happens next: District staff said they will continue training Level‑1 teams, coordinate with community partners for the planned reunification drill, and post emergency‑preparedness materials and drill schedules to the district website and ParentSquare.
