Board reviews safety committee meeting; considers separate student-safety group
Summary
At a Sept. 9 safety meeting Justin Ward led discussions on drills and fire-panel cross-training; the board discussed creating a separate student-focused safety committee while Speaker 7 explained OSHA requires an employee safety committee and a student committee would be optional and separate.
Speaker 4 summarized the Sept. 9 safety meeting led by Justin Ward: the group discussed practicing drills, cross-training staff on the fire panel (Mark Brown raised the point), and planning a safety walkthrough by Oct. 3. Board members debated whether a separate student-focused safety committee was necessary or whether student safety topics should be covered within the existing committee.
Speaker 7 noted OSHA requires a safety committee focused on employees but said the district may optionally form a separate student-safety group that would not be constrained by OSHA rules. The board asked staff to clarify membership and structure if a new committee is proposed.
