Cutten trustees approve updated Comprehensive Safe School Plan with gender-neutral language
Summary
The board approved the 2024–25 Comprehensive Safe School Plan after edits that include changing he/she to they/them, adding a lockdown degree to align both campuses, and the possibility of PTA-donated walkie-talkies for emergency response; the motion passed unanimously 3-0.
The Cutten School District Board of Trustees approved its 2024–25 Comprehensive Safe School Plan (CSSP) at the Feb. 10 meeting after staff recommended specific edits and trustees moved to adopt the plan.
Trustees discussed replacing gendered pronouns (he/she) with they/them in relevant passages and adding a degree of lockdown response so both campuses follow the same protocol. The board also noted PTA may donate walkie-talkies for emergency communications. Trustee Becky Reece moved approval; Beth Johnston seconded, and the motion carried 3-0.
Board members asked staff to ensure the edits are applied to plan text and to return any implementation details — such as distribution and training for communications equipment — for future follow-up.
