Summary
Presenters Stephanie Bowen and CJ Toole reviewed safety drills, behavioral assessments, ParentSquare and SafeOregon usage, and said the district is exploring a potential grant to support continued safety improvements.
District staff presented an overview of school safety practices and communications during the meeting. Stephanie Bowen and CJ Toole summarized the district’s approach—safety drills at the start of the year, a Safety Summit to reinforce foundational practices, behavioral safety assessments, and reliance on tools such as ParentSquare, See Something, Say Something and SafeOregon for communication and reporting.
"Communication tools such as ParentSquare, along with 'See Something, Say Something' and SafeOregon, were highlighted as essential components of the district’s safety communication strategy," the presenters noted. The presentation framed safety as a combination of regular drills, assessment systems, and community partnerships. Staff also said the district is exploring a possible grant opportunity to support continued safety improvements across schools.
Board members did not take formal action during the presentation but were briefed on current systems and potential next steps for funding and implementation.
