Local trainer tells Pojoaque Valley board active-shooter drills are gaining traction after COVID
Summary
Public commenter Joe Deeter told the Pojoaque Valley board the district's multi-year active-shooter training is showing improved student engagement and urged continued financial and staff support as the program enters its third full year of implementation.
Joe Deeter, the meeting's lone public commenter, praised the district's active-shooter training and credited staff and students for strong engagement. "We're out here doing the after shooter training right with the k 2 ... We started this program grama 2018," Deeter said, and added that the high school session "went very well today" and that students who began the program in middle school now show maturity and ownership of safety response roles.
Deeter urged the board to sustain financial and staff commitment as the program grows after interruptions during the COVID pandemic. His remarks were made during the board's public-comment period and followed an earlier presentation about student safety; board members thanked him and acknowledged the value of student participation in prevention and response training.
