Summary

A student described a campus intrusion reported April 30 and said students and staff were left under‑informed; the speaker urged the district to collaborate with schools on drills, trauma‑informed responses and improved communication after emergencies.

Nayeli Valenzuela recounted an April 30 incident that district notices identified as an intrusion, saying students were frightened and later told to return to class with limited information. "El 30 de abril, el sistema nos informó que hubo una intrusión y que esta no era un ensayo. Todos empanaicados, cerraron puertas," Valenzuela testified, and urged the district to coordinate school‑level plans and post‑incident supports.

Valenzuela said some follow‑up measures—bag checks and limited communications—were insufficient, and asked the board to make coordinated training, rehearsals and trauma‑informed debriefs a clear district priority rather than impersonal notifications.
