Superintendent outlines safety steps, training and timeline for revised crisis plan
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Robbie told the Aug. 12 board meeting the district has expanded trainings, plans audits of consultant recommendations, is working with police and expects a revised crisis plan by mid‑October; she cited ongoing updates to the Raptor system and plans to improve cameras and perimeter detection.
Superintendent Dr. Robbie presented the board with a summary of safety work the district completed over the summer and described near‑term operational changes ahead of the 2024–25 school year.
Dr. Robbie said the district is expanding staff training — including a 32‑hour multi‑component training series for some roles — and distributing condensed 'flip‑page' versions of the comprehensive crisis plan to administrators so they can quickly reference responses. "El plan comprensivo se le otorga siempre a los administradores... van a un entrenamiento, y la mayoría de estos suceden en un sábado," she said.
She described technology and equipment updates already underway: upgrades to cameras, installation of better perimeter detectors and expanded use and training on the Raptor visitor‑management system. The superintendent said the district is coordinating with local police to increase visible staff at schools and to follow law‑enforcement guidance on preventive measures.
On staffing, the district reported it currently has 37 security officers and discussed planning figures that could reach roughly 40 officers if the program expands. Dr. Robbie said the administration is performing an audit of consultant recommendations and applying those changes in phases rather than rewriting all crisis documents at once; she estimated a mid‑October target for completing a revised, district‑wide crisis plan.
The board asked for details about how summer staffing and coverage translate to the regular school year and pressed for clearer documentation of incident reports and follow‑up; the superintendent said the district is still finalizing some specifics and will provide updates to the board as they are available. No formal vote or policy adoption occurred at the meeting.
