Public UpdatesPublic SafetyDetected Jun 8, 2026

The Board will approve a Safety Training Manual for the 2026-2027 school year, as recommended by Mr. Swick and supported by Superintendent Feeney. This manual likely specifies required safety-related training for staff, covering topics like emergency response, threat reporting, and workplace safety.The agenda does not refer to any external training provider or learning platform, suggesting the district may rely on internal content or basic systems. This creates an opening for vendors offering online safety training libraries, compliance tracking, and blended training programs tailored to K-12. A conversation could explore whether current tools provide adequate coverage, documentation, and reporting to support the new manual, especially for audit and legal compliance.

Manual is part of the district’s integrated safety framework with crisis and threat assessment plans.
