Board approves opioid overdose prevention grant and county safety pilot to add Narcan cabinets, training and AI‑backed monitoring
Summary
The board authorized a San Bernardino County MOU that funds Narcan cabinets, training and wearable pouches (district received $15,000) and approved participation in a countywide safety pilot to audit platforms and combine systems with an AI dashboard for incident readiness.
The Yucaipa‑Calimesa board on Jan. 13 approved two safety measures aimed at improving on‑campus emergency readiness: an opioid overdose prevention memorandum of understanding and a countywide school safety and incident‑readiness pilot.
District staff said the opioid grant, administered through the San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools, provides up to $15,000 for Narcan‑related purchases and training. "We already get Narcan for free. We can get up to 2,400 doses of Narcan," a district safety staff member told the board, and the package presented includes wall cabinets for multipurpose rooms, albuterol and bleed‑control kits, training for staff and optional small Narcan pouches that trained employees can wear. Staff said monthly inventories and school nurses will monitor supplies and the district is exploring alarmed cabinets similar to AED devices.
Separately, the board approved participation in a pilot run by Guardian School Safety and Empower America to audit electronic safety platforms (StopIt, Raptor, Bark), cameras and alarm systems and to combine those feeds into an AI‑driven dashboard. Staff described the pilot as an audit‑and‑integration project: security vendors will inspect existing systems and produce recommendations and, in a subsequent MOU, the county‑led effort would integrate multiple platforms so alerts can be correlated with camera footage and other data.
The board voted to authorize the superintendent or designee to sign the opioid MOU and to participate in the countywide pilot; both motions passed unanimously. District staff said the Narcan grant will fund training sessions in February and supply replacement Narcan doses from the county allocation if inventory is used.
