Bargaining team reviews staff-safety white paper, endorses staff training and reporting commitments
Summary
The IBB group reviewed a white paper proposing districtwide BTAM education, trauma-informed de-escalation training, staff reporting mechanisms to the superintendent, and exploration of behavior-intervention programs; members agreed to move the draft to wood design for next review.
The Moscow School District interest-based bargaining team reviewed a white paper on staff safety that outlines commitments the district would pursue to improve staff training and incident reporting.
The presenter summarized agreed items: consistent, districtwide education on the Behavioral Threat Assessment Model (BTAM), trauma-informed professional development on de-escalation for all staff, a clear mechanism for staff to report unsafe conditions to the superintendent, and study of possible programs including elementary behavior-correction and school- or district-level behavior intervention programs.
Committee members asked clarifying questions about scope — whether proposed programs would be school-based or districtwide — and discussed the need for criteria to evaluate positions if they were later reviewed. The group coalesced around sending the white paper back as a wood-design draft so staff can prepare contract or procedural language for formal review at the next meeting.
No formal vote on policy adoption occurred; the paper will return for technical drafting and further review.
