Board adopts building safety plans and centralizes emergency plans with CLPS
Summary
The board approved Resolution 047234 adopting 2024–25 building safety plans for Bloomingdale, Petrova and the high school and described a contract with CLPS to centralize emergency plans, threat assessments and an app‑based access tool while keeping plans confidential.
The Saranac Lake Central School District Board of Education voted to approve Resolution 047234, adopting the 2024–25 building‑level safety plans for Bloomingdale, Petrova and Saranac Lake High School.
District staff described a contract with CLPS that provides standardized safety‑plan templates, central storage for threat assessments and an app that staff can use to access plans quickly in an emergency. Staff emphasized that the plans are confidential and not for public distribution; the state’s current requirement also includes aerial photos and labeled emergency locations, which the district will not publish publicly but will make available to authorized staff and first responders.
Supervising staff also noted the district uses screener and benchmark tools for student wellness (FastBridge) and is discussing alternate student social‑emotional screeners; administrators said more training will occur on superintendent conference day before wider rollout.
Trustees approved the plans by voice vote during the meeting; Justin (an administrator noted as coordinating the effort) is expected to provide a fuller report at a later meeting.
