Superintendent’s report: district safety team meets, teen mental-health training proposed
Summary
Dr. Woodcock reported on a well-attended district safety-team meeting, recommended consistent drill signage and discussed a grant to start teen mental-health first-aid training next year at no cost; she also said the district had a strong set of fire inspection results this year.
Dr. Woodcock delivered the superintendent’s report, describing the second district-wide safety-team meeting as well attended and productive. She said the team will pursue consistent signage in classrooms with drill language and emergency phone numbers and that the district will develop proposals for security presence at large events where staff may not know attendees.
On mental-health training, Dr. Woodcock noted Governor Hochul’s proposal for teen mental-health first aid for 10th graders and reported that the district can begin the program next year through a grant opportunity at no cost for trainers and materials. She described the fire-inspection results as the district’s “best year ever” while flagging minor code issues (decorations and air fresheners) that staff must manage. Dr. Woodcock said tabletop drills and coordination with SROs informed safety planning and that any proposals will come to the board for review.
