Safety committee outlines training, panic-alarm and AED checks after Homeland Security review
Summary
The safety committee told the board it received a Homeland Security report from a November visit and is prioritizing action items including threat-assessment training, CPR/Stop-the-Bleed sessions, checking panic alarms, reviewing door-entry points and getting AEDs operational.
A safety committee member reported that the committee received a Homeland Security report from a November visit and is working through an action list. The committee has started to prioritize items and has identified online threat-assessment training for the district team, additional CPR and Stop-the-Bleed training for staff, short video training for secretaries and a review of panic alarms that may no longer function.
The committee also flagged door and entry security as an important next step because multiple exterior entrances complicate access control, and said it will investigate the cost and procurement channels for heavy pens and AED batteries so equipment is operational. Board members agreed the committee should proceed with prioritized training and come back with cost estimates.
