Teacher urges clearer lockdown communications and scheduling support for music students
Summary
Henley Middle School teacher Sarah Kayton asked the district to simplify and de-stress lockdown/secure communications, citing confusion with the Raptor system, and asked that scheduling avoid forcing music students to choose between required classes.
Sarah Kayton, a teacher at Henley Middle School, used the public comment period to raise two operational concerns.
First, Kayton said today's initiation of lockdown/secure statuses created confusion and that the district's Raptor system can lead to unclear communication. She asked the district to strive for communication that is less stressful for staff and students. Superintendent Glen Szymoniak said he would speak with Henley Middle School administration about her concerns.
Second, Kayton described scheduling conflicts affecting music students and asked district scheduling to be more supportive so students do not have to choose between classes they need or want to take. The board did not take formal action during the meeting; staff follow-up was requested.
