Glendora Unified shows off incident response trailer and expands emergency, internet‑safety tools
Summary
District safety staff demonstrated an incident response trailer, announced SB 868 trauma kits for classrooms, perimeter upgrades and the Catapult emergency app; families will get Securely Home internet monitoring next school year, and staff said the trailer should be fully stocked by the start of the next school year.
District safety staff on Monday updated trustees on a package of safety measures that included an incident response trailer, classroom trauma kits to support SB 868 compliance, updated fencing and signage at middle schools, the Catapult emergency management app and a renewed contract with Securly for school‑internet monitoring.
Tammy Fry described the incident trailer as a mobile "deep bin" to hold water, food rations and emergency supplies that can be moved to sites where students are evacuated. She said the district provided first‑aid kits to all campuses and that the trauma pouches — designed to "stop the bleed" with tourniquets and instructions — will be placed in classrooms next school year as part of SB 868 compliance.
"Starting in the next school year... all classrooms will soon be equipped with trauma kits like this one," Fry said, describing the foil‑packed pouches and the training plan for staff. Josie Wilson described the district's comprehensive school safety plans and how the standard response protocol (SRP) language (hold, secure, lock down, evacuate, shelter) is used in drills to create uniform responses across sites.
Safety staff also reviewed perimeter steps (employee badges, visitor check‑in via Raptor, new fencing on joint‑use property) and technology supports: Catapult is used to run drills and send real‑time notifications to staff, while a renewed Securly contract provides round‑the‑clock internet monitoring and a new Securely Home feature to extend filtering and alerts to families next year.
Trustees asked logistics questions during Q&A: staff said their goal is to have the trailer fully stocked by the start of the next school year (with a more conservative estimate that some items will be ready at the beginning of the next term) and that Securely Home will roll out next school year with parent notifications through district channels.
What to watch: staff follow‑up on the trailer inventory schedule, training plans for trauma kits, and communications outlining Securely Home family access and privacy controls.
