Board approves $17,000 train‑the‑trainer 'Alice' safety training paid from year‑end balance
Summary
The Contoocook Valley School District board voted to spend $17,000 from year‑end balance to send up to 20 staff through a two‑day Navigate360 'Alice' train‑the‑trainer program so each school has certified trainers for safety drills and refresher training.
The board voted to approve a two‑day Navigate360 train‑the‑trainer course for the Alice protocol (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate) at a cost of $17,000 to be paid from the end‑of‑year balance.
Administration explained the district currently has only three certified trainers and 11 schools, so the training would certify about 20 additional staff (administrators and other staff) who could run refresher trainings and ensure new staff receive training. "At this time, we only have three people in the district that are able to train our staff," the superintendent said.
Why it matters: The train‑the‑trainer model is intended to make regular in‑school safety drills more consistent and to ensure each building has at least one trained staff member to lead exercises and refreshers. The board voted in favor of the transfer to fund the training; the motion passed by roll call.
