Board receives updates on drills, DOJ reporting and health plan changes including communicable-disease language
Summary
Administrators described October evacuation and reunification drills, DOJ reporting requirements and updated safe-at-school health guidance that replaces COVID isolation language with a broader communicable-disease approach; nurse said at-home tests remain available on request.
District administration gave a consolidated update on safety and health planning, documenting recent drills and a change in the district’s communicable-disease guidance.
Elementary principal and safety lead Mr. Berghammer (speaker 15) summarized October evacuation and reunification drills conducted the week of Oct. 21 and Oct. 24 across elementary, middle and high school buildings; students were organized and checked off by grade or teacher group and some reunifications occurred at other buildings or the football field for alternative-school students. Berghammer also reviewed district compliance with DOJ logging requirements for safety drills, the district’s drill schedule for 2024–25 (including tornado and secure drills), and plans to convene a multiagency safety meeting after the holidays with police, fire and emergency management.
School nurse Leah Foley (speaker 16) described the safe-at-school plan revisions: removal of COVID-specific isolation language in favor of broader communicable-disease verbiage, continued surveillance through Skyward, and the availability of at-home tests for families upon request; she noted that county guidelines often dictate detailed communicable-disease steps and that the district’s crisis-response plan provides supplemental procedures.
Board members had no substantive objections and reached consensus to move the safety and health updates forward to the regular board meeting for formal receipt and filing.
Administrators will maintain the drill logs, continue communication with county public-safety partners and return any required updates to the board as part of routine oversight.
