Summary

Committee members said a recent small fire near the high school prompted a coordinated response by RSOs, facilities and administration; the safety committee is now focusing on stakeholder communications and a recognition program for safety work.

Safety committee members recounted a recent small fire in fields outside the high school and commended staff for the coordinated response, including RSOs and facilities staff who checked HVAC systems and air quality. "There was, a week ago, roughly, a small fire in the fields outside the high school," a committee member said, and the group credited the assistant superintendent and staff for an effective response.

The committee is also working on communications with stakeholders about the crisis-response process and on a program to recognize staff who identify or prevent safety incidents. Committee leaders encouraged board members and community members to participate in safety-culture work and noted the group is open to all interested participants.
