Um, >> uh, public input on agenda and non-aggenda items. If anyone uh, would like to get up and speak, feel free to >> wait. Do I have to do Oh, I have to do what? Public hearing. >> Public hearing. District safety plan. Yeah, it says Jay Carmel. >> Yeah, that's me. Um, so there's been some changes at the state level on the safety rules. Uh, so we changed our district plan. I put it in the Friday report last week. Um, the main
002changes are um notification to parents, which is going to be a little bit tricky, but we have to tell parents when we're going to have lockdown drill uh and or evacuation drills or any of those bigger kind of drills that are now required. Um, We also remember the the uh large scale one we had one year um on PD day where we actually had the police here and you know the gun and everything. You can still do that as long as there's no students around and there wasn't when we did it but some districts actually do those kinds of simulations with students and those are now not allowed. You can do it the way we did it. And what else? >> Uh, I'm reading it right now. Trauma informed, developmentally, and age appropriate manners forations.
003>> Yes. >> What does that mean? >> It means um kindergarteners and first graders um will be told about the drill in a different manner than the other. >> Explaining it as well. >> Yeah. The main thing is going to be we have to notify parents that they're coming within a week of the actual. >> How do we do that? We use parent. >> Is there any way that we can get on parents or >> I thought we took care of that. Yeah, I thought so. >> I guess it'll depend on which messages do you want. >> Well, when when somebody calls us and says did um what do we do about and we answer what are you talking about? So I guess >> well parent but we literally send a parent square message. We
004could be sending one out every day because sometimes it's a class specific message that says your teacher blah blah blah. Sometimes it's school specific. Sometimes it's grade level specific. And sometimes they're whole district messages that say we're going home early today. >> I would say the whole when the whole district is involved or if a single building is going to close down like school 16 didn't have electric. We need to you know we cuz that's what happens. >> So I will email you after that. Yeah. >> Okay. I'll talk to Jason >> just we talked about I just I I never followed up with it. >> So you say building? >> Yeah. If it's a whole building or whole district or I guess if it's whole building and emergency related, >> right? And a classroom
005related. I don't grade level. >> No offense. No offense to first. Now, is this can I is this the safety plan? Is this like a New York state? Is this >> Yeah, it's the same safety plan. Each building has their own as well. Those do not get posted because those actually show specific things for each building. The district one gets posted. The one you saw last week. >> Okay. And then the second read of all the uh policies that we took care of those will get approved next. Is everybody okay with the policies that we reviewed?
