Aubrey Cosentino, a site safety supervisor at Vallejo School District, addressed the board to urge trustees to reconsider staffing cuts that would reduce classified staff, saying recent incidents show the value of campus supervisors, office staff, paras and other classified employees for student safety.
"Safety is not an abstract policy. Safety is people," Cosentino said, recounting multiple incidents including students struck by cars and children who wandered off campus. She told trustees that cutting the adults who supervise gates, buses and transitions would undermine efforts to keep students safe and asked the board to hold the district accountable for staffing decisions.
