Summary

Principal Dr. Love reported completed drills and scheduled trainings and distributed a Behavior Data Task Force progressive-discipline framework for staff trial and feedback; the board was briefed on AED/CPR opportunities and upcoming safety events.

Principal Dr. M. Love told the board Homecoming events were "super fun" and thanked staff and community partners for support. She reported six required fire drills completed, a planned go-home-early drill Oct. 9, and one completed lockdown drill with three more planned this year. She also said staff will be offered AED/CPR training on Oct. 10.

Dr. Love distributed a two-sided, grade-separated progressive-discipline framework drafted by the Behavior Data Task Force for teachers to use and provide feedback. She said the framework is intended to align disciplinary responses with the Code of Conduct, provide tiered responses, and allow acceleration for serious violations while supporting student accountability and restorative approaches.

Why it matters: Safety drills and consistent behavior supports are core operational matters that affect student safety, daily routines and instructional time. The district emphasized communication to families before drills and staff training resources.

What’s next: Staff will pilot the framework, provide feedback and the district will schedule remaining drills and AED/CPR training.
