District drill logs and emergency‑team rosters published in board packet
Summary
Oakland Public Schools’ Sept. 16 packet includes July drill logs for Valley Middle School and T.O.P.S., and detailed building emergency, crisis and threat‑assessment team rosters for 2025–2026 across district schools.
Oakland Public Schools’ board packet distributed for the Sept. 16, 2025 meeting contains the district’s Monthly School Drill Record form for July 2025 and extensive emergency‑team rosters for the 2025–2026 school year.
The drill record entries show Valley Middle School conducted a fire drill on July 9, 2025 at 9:15 a.m. that lasted four minutes, and a shelter‑in‑place on July 10, 2025 at 9:00 a.m. (one minute). T.O.P.S. records show a July 2 evacuation drill and a July 7 tornado drill implemented as an inside drill, with staff moving students to designated hallways (SEG 008–016). The drill-record form also lists the type, duration, weather conditions and brief descriptions of what was practiced.
Separately, the packet publishes building emergency team lists (labeled 'School Emergency Teams' and 'Crisis Team' and 'Threat Assessment Team') covering Dogwood, Heights, Manito, VMS and T.O.P.S. These rosters name school staff and several SLEO (school law enforcement officer) contacts, list AED team and back‑up personnel and identify HIB (Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying) specialists and crisis backups. The packet names multiple staff in each team (for example, Sean Bowe, Jackie Christiano, Adam Silverstein and others in the emergency/crisis lists) and identifies specific SLEO members such as Kevin Smith and Brian Fazio (SEG 080–095).
The materials are presented as the district’s safety documentation for the 2025–2026 year. They are included in the board packet for information and for any board action on emergency team approval or acknowledgement; the packet does not, by itself, record discussion or board votes on these items.
What to watch: Parents and staff concerned about safety protocols will find the named team rosters and the drill summaries in the packet; the district’s documentation lists primary and backup team members and notes expected roles (AED, HIB specialist, crisis response).
