Patrick advises the board to review the details of current safety issues that affect our school community and share any notes that highlight areas of concern and identify solutions to improve safety. Discussion has been moved to address these concerns during the December 8, 2026 meeting.
Andrea has suggested that we find a way to share these resources through ParentSquare so parents are aware of the traffic rules and additionally if teachers can display signs to remind of the traffic rules in order to keep students safe during pick up and drop off hours.
Open Discussion: N/A
Patrick moves to address any other concerns, questions or topics from the board.
Andrea shared concern to ensure why students are late, are there safety concerns of families worrying about ICE or children facing abuse at home. How can we support these families to help students be in attendance more regularly. Ms. Walbeck Will gather more information to share with parents for next meeting.
Noelle shared that a communication could be shared to go home with students to inform families about schools being a safe space for students and families to encourage attendance. The district sent out communications last year to inform parents and give them confidence that school is a safe place.
