Board backs exploring human‑trafficking awareness flyers in private student spaces; staff to research
Summary
Board members supported a discussion item to place age‑appropriate human‑trafficking awareness flyers or QR codes in private student areas (lockers/restrooms) and asked staff to research legal and implementation details; superintendent committed to follow up.
A board member brought a discussion item proposing discreet, age‑appropriate human‑trafficking awareness materials (for example laminated flyers or QR codes) in private student spaces such as locker rooms or restrooms to give students confidential access to hotline numbers and resources.
The sponsoring board member said general counsel had advised there was no legal prohibition but recommended keeping content age‑appropriate, particularly for middle school students. Several board members supported researching the content and delivery model, with one board member suggesting drama outreach programs and another urging materials that avoid graphic images.
Superintendent Michael Burke said district staff who work with students will be trained this year and committed to research the signage used elsewhere and work with staff (including Mr. Oswald and Ms. Wyatt) to prepare appropriate materials. Board members did not adopt a final policy at this meeting; they directed staff to return with recommended approaches and legal guidance.
