[G. Presentation on HCPS Safety and Security, Mr. Donoven Brooks, Coordinator of Safety and Security and Dr. Stacey Gerringer, Principal of Abingdon Elementary School]

NOMINEES. I'M SURE YOU'RE GREATLY DESERVED THE RECOGNITION. NEXT I'D LIKE TO CALL ON MR DONOVAN BROOKS FOR HIS PRESENTATION ON HCPS, SAFETY AND SECURITY. STAYS AGAIN. I'M SORRY. WE GOT IT. YEAH WE'RE ALSO GONNA INTRODUCE DR STACEY GUARANTEES SHE'S CO PRESENTED WITH MR BROOKS THIS EVENING. I'M SO SORRY. FORGIVE ME, NOT YOUR FAULT. WALLS AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. DONOVAN BROOKS, CHIEF OF SAFETY SECURITY, JOINED BY, UH, DR STACEY GALLAGHER. WHO ALSO SERVES AS THE CO CHAIR. FOR A SORE SAFETY WORKROOM. TIME I CAME BEFORE. BOARD I SHARED SOME

[01:15:07]

INITIATIVES THAT WE'RE WORKING ON IN THE OFFICE OF SAFETY AND SECURITY. AND TONIGHT, I WANT TO PROVIDE SOME UPDATES ON SOME OF THOSE INITIATIVES THAT WE SHARED THE LAST TIME WE WERE HERE. WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT. WAS. WHAT WE LOOKED AT WHAT WE WERE LOOKING AT POST COVID LOCKDOWN. AS WE'VE COME BACK INTO THE PHYSICAL STRUCTURE OF BUILDINGS, SOME OF THE SAFETY AND SECURITY THINGS THAT WE HAVE IDENTIFIED. COME UP AS CONCERNS. AND HOW WE WOULD MOVE FORWARD TO ADDRESS SOME OF THOSE CONCERNS AND ALSO IDENTIFY SHROUDED SO THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE, WE TALKED ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE HAVE STAKEHOLDER OUTREACH. WELL, WE WOULD HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR STAKEHOLDER GROUPS. WE HAVE HAD THOSE CONVERSATIONS AND THEY'VE BEEN VERY ROBUST CONVERSATIONS.

I MY DAD AND WE ALSO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE SMALL GROUPS WITH SOME OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS AS WELL. WE ALSO IDENTIFIED THE NEED FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA OF SAFETY AND SECURITY. AS WELL AS WE'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT PARTNERS. SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE SEEN SOME OF THE REAL TALK VIDEOS THAT HAVE BEEN POSTED. WE'VE ACTUALLY CREATIVE SERIES. OF THOSE THAT WILL BE POSTED. SO AS WE. LOOK FURTHER INTO OUR SAFETY AND SECURITY AND LOOK AT OUR DISTRICT FOR OUR SAFETY AND SECURITY LENS. OUR SCHOOL SAFETY WORKGROUP REALLY WORKED TO IDENTIFY HOW WE CAN IMPROVE THE SAFETY AND SECURITY EXPERIENCE FOR ALL OF OUR STAKEHOLDERS. THE WE CAME UP WITH A COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF THINGS THAT WE DETERMINED WHERE AREAS OF IMPORTANCE FOR THE WORK GROUP. WE ALSO FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO HEAR DIRECTLY FROM THE STAKEHOLDERS ACROSS THE DISTRICT. AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE DID. WE SOUGHT OUT TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION. AND SO WE? WE HAD VERY GOOD CONVERSATIONS, AND THOSE CONVERSATIONS CULMINATED WITH THE SURVEYS SURVEYS THAT WE ASKED OUR FOCUS GROUP MEMBERS TO FILL OUT FOR US SO WE CAN CAPTURE EVEN MORE DATA. THE DETERMINE HOW WE NEED TO ADDRESS OUR PROGRAMMING AND WITHOUT PRIORITIES NEEDED TO BE AND SO WITH THAT TONIGHT I'M HAPPY TO BRING TO YOU, UM SOME OF THE RESULTS EVEN THOUGH WE STILL HAVE SOME WORK TO DO IN THIS AREA. WE'VE DONE QUITE A BIT OF THE WORK ALREADY. AND SO WE WANT TO SHARE SOME OF THE FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVED FROM OUR FOCUS GROUPS. IF WE CAN GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS SLIDE, WE WANT TO SHARE THAT INFORMATION AND DR GUARANTEE AT THIS TIME WE'LL SHARE SOME OF THE INFORMATION THAT WE WERE ABLE TO CAPTURE WHEN WE MET WITH OUR STAKEHOLDER GROUPS. GOOD EVENING. AS MR BROOKS NOTED, WE HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING WITH NUMEROUS STAKEHOLDER GROUPS TO GATHER THEIR PERCEPTION ABOUT SAFETY AND SECURITY IN OUR SKULLS. THE WAS FANTASTIC, PROVIDED INSIGHT AND YIELDED SEVERAL COMMON THINGS. OR OPERATIONAL PRINCIPLE GROUP REINFORCED SAFETY AND SECURITY MUST BE OUR SYSTEMS TOP PRIORITY. THE GROUP SHARED HARFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS NEEDS A CLEAR VISION AND A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO ENHANCE CONSISTENCY. OUR LEADERS RECOMMENDED THAT THE OFFICE OF SAFETY AND SECURITY BE EXPANDED.

FROM ITS CURRENT STAFFING BECAUSE IT'S JUST NOT ENOUGH. MOST STAKEHOLDER GROUPS SHARED CONCERNS FOR MENTAL HEALTH, SUICIDAL IDEATION AS WELL AS BULLYING AND HARASSMENT ARE STUDENTS AND PARENTS ALSO SHARED CONCERNS WITH BULLYING AND HARASSMENT. AND THE NEGATIVE IMPACT OF CELL PHONES AND SOCIAL MEDIA. BOTH GROUPS RECOMMENDED MORE TIMELY PRACTICE OF SAFETY DRILLS, WHICH WAS ECHOED BY OUR TEACHER LEADERS ARE TEACHER LEADER LEADERS REITERATED THE IMPORTANCE OF TRAINING, ESPECIALLY IN OUR SCHOOLS WITH NEW STAFF. AND FINALLY, ALL STAKEHOLDER GROUPS REINFORCED THE IMPORTANCE OF TIMELY, ACCURATE COMMUNICATION TO NOT ONLY SHARE ACCURATE INFORMATION BUT TO COMBAT MISINFORMATION FROM THAT RUMOR MILL. THANK YOU, DR GARRIGAN. SO WE KNOW THAT THD SECURITY CHANGED DRAMATICALLY IN THE AFTERMATH. THE STONEMAN DOUGLAS TRAGEDY. WITH THAT CAME TO MARYLAND SAFETY LEARN ACT WOULD ADD IT, WHICH ADDED EVEN MORE LAYERS AND RESPONSIBILITIES IN THE AREA OF SAFETY AND SECURITY FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS THE STATE. DURING THIS PROCESS, WE LEARNED, UM THAT WE HAVE CONCERNS BEYOND THOSE THAT ARE OUTLINED IN AMERICAN SAFETY LEARN ACT THAT ARE GERMANE TO OUR DISTRICT. WE ALSO LEARNED THINGS THAT WE WERE DOING WELL IN AREAS THAT WE CAN IMPROVE UPON. SO AS WE LOOK ACROSS THE DISTRICT AND WE THINK ABOUT THINGS THAT WE ENCOUNTER ON A DAILY BASIS. UM THROUGHOUT OUR 54 SCHOOLS ACROSS THE DISTRICT. WE ADDRESS THESE CONCERNS WITH THE TEAMS THAT WE HAVE BUT WE

[01:20:06]

HAVE TO REALLY SPREAD OUR FOOTPRINT. IN TERMS OF THE SUPPORT FOR THE SCHOOLS ACROSS OUR DISTRICT IN TERMS OF WHAT WE PROVIDE FROM THIS OFFICE. SO THOUGH WE RECEIVED MUCH FEEDBACK. AND MANY GREAT IDEAS ON THE ON WHAT WE CAN DELIVER. WE ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THAT WOULD REQUIRE SOME EXPANSION OF THE OFFICE. IF WE'RE GOING TO TAKE IT, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS FROM A REALITY STANDPOINT. AND SO WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR CURRENT OPERATIONAL REALITY CURRENT OPERATION REALITY. LOOKS LIKE WHAT WE HAVE ON THE NEXT SLIDE. SO THE OFFICE OF SAFETY AND SECURITY, WHICH IS COMPRISED OF FROM OPERATIONAL SET AND ADMINISTRATIVE STANDPOINT, MYSELF AND MY MINISTRATIONS, ASSISTANT AND OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROVIDING SAFE AND SECURITY , GUIDANCE, LOGISTICS AND OPERATIONAL SUPPORT. SPANS ACROSS OUR 54 SCHOOLS, 38,000 STUDENTS AND OUR 5000 PLUS EMPLOYEES. WITH THAT WE ALSO HAVE SUPPORT FROM MY EXTERNAL PARTNERS. IN THE FORM OF 23 SA ROSE, WHO PROVIDE DIRECT SUPPORT TO OUR SECONDARY SCHOOLS, AS WELL AS THREE HEROES WHO ARE CURRENTLY SPREAD ACROSS 27 SCHOOLS, WHERE THEY SHARE THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROVIDING COVERAGE OF THOSE SCHOOLS. IN THE FORMAT OF CLUSTERS. WE ALSO HAVE EIGHT SCHOOL SAFELY LIAISONS, WHICH WERE ADDED TWO YEARS AGO, AND THEY HAVE DONE A REMARKABLE JOB IN THE SCHOOLS WHERE WE HAVE THEM ASIDE SO MUCH SO THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED WHERE WE CAN UTILIZE THOSE SAME TYPES OF POSITIONS TO PARTICIPATE. PORTS ARE SCHOOLS, ADMINISTRATION STAFF AND STUDENTS ACROSS THE DISTRICT. SE EXPECTATIONS AND THE NEEDS OF THE OFFICE OF SAFETY AND SECURITY HAVE EVOLVED AND GROWN EXPONENTIALLY OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. AND THAT'S UNDERSTANDABLE BECAUSE THERE'S JUST BEEN A CHANGE IN THE WAY BUSINESS IS DONE IN THE AREA OF SAFETY SECURITY SPECIFICALLY WHEN WE TALK ABOUT K THROUGH 12 KT 12 ENVIRONMENT SO WE'RE WORKING DAILY TO MEET THE CHALLENGES AND THE CHANGES THAT HAVE IMPACTED THE WAY THAT WE APPROACH SAVED THE INSECURE AND. WITH THAT WORK AND THE WORK THAT WE'VE DONE ON THE SCHOOL SAFETY WORKGROUP. WE HAVE DEFINITELY IDENTIFIED SOME ADDITIONAL NEEDS AND WE BOUGHT THOSE NEEDS HERE. TO THE BOARD TONIGHT AND AS WELL AS GIVEN DR BOLSON AN OPPORTUNITY TO ALSO DISCUSS SOME OF THE INFORMATION THAT WE'VE SHARED WITH HIM, AND I LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT, ALSO TO THANK DR ERIC DAVIS, WHO HAS BEEN VERY KEY AND INSTRUMENTAL SUPPORTING US THROUGH THIS PROCESS, PROVIDING OF WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE AND GUIDANCE IN TERMS OF HOW TO CONDUCT THE PROCESS TO REALLY GLEAN INFORMATION THAT WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO IMPROVE, HOW WE APPROACH SAFETY AND SECURITY WITHIN THE DISTRICT. WITH THAT? I THANK YOU. LITTLE HARD TO READ AND INTERPRET IT FOR YOU, UM, SO BORED. I KNOW I WE MET WITH MANY OF YOU LAST WEEK AND SMALL GROUPS. YOU HEARD FROM MR BOOKS AND DR GUARANTEE OR A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE CONCERNS AND SOME OF THE DATA. WHAT WE WERE. WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON. IS FINDING A WAY TO ADD MORE SUPPORT TO OUR SECURITY TEAM. SO WE'VE WORKED WITH MS JUDD. AND SORT OF GONE THROUGH THE BUDGET. AND SO I'M NOT ASKING FOR ANY KIND OF VOTE TONIGHT, BUT I WANTED TO SHARE WITH THE GROUP. THAT WE BELIEVE WITH THE FUNDS WE HAVE AVAILABLE THAT WE CAN MAKE ADJUSTMENTS AT BUDGET WILL RECONCILE IT AT THE END OF THE YEAR. SO WHEN YOU VOTE ON THE FINAL BUDGET, THIS WILL BE EXPECT. THIS WILL BE A PART OF IT, BARRING ANY OTHER BIG CHANGES BETWEEN NOW AND THEN. UM BUT WHAT? WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO INCLUDE THERE. IS A STRUCTURE THAT PROVIDES SECURITY LIAISON SCHOOL SECURITY LIAISON TO EVERY SECONDARY SCHOOL. AND ALSO LEAVING A TEAM OF FIVE WE HAVE HERE ON THE SCREEN FLOATERS , FIVE ADDITIONAL SECURITY LIAISONS WHO CAN BE ASSIGNED AND DEPLOYED. AS NEEDED. AND IN FACT YOU RECALL, YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD INCIDENTS IN CERTAIN SCHOOLS RECENTLY, AND SOMETIMES THOSE HAVE BEEN ONGOING. SO THE ABILITY IN FACT, WHEN THAT OCCURRED, MR BOOKS ASKED SECURITY LIAISONS WHO? WHO OF THE EIGHT WE HAD IN OUR SCHOOLS, AS SOME OF THEM TO MOVE OVER. AS NEEDED. SO NOW WHAT WE'D HAVE IS WE'D HAVE A FULL TIME SECURITY LIAISON AT EACH OF THE SECONDARY SCHOOL. THOSE FIVE FLOATERS, AND THEN THEY WOULD HAVE SOMEONE WHO IS SUPERVISING THEM. WHO'S HELPING MR BROOKS IN TERMS OF SUPPORTING THE SECONDARY SCHOOLS. ADDITIONALLY, UM, I

[01:25:04]

DON'T. WE CAN'T AT THIS POINT, AFFORD A LIAISON FOR EVERY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, BUT THE NEEDS ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT. THERE ARE, YOU KNOW, BUT THERE CERTAINLY DO COME TIMES WHEN WE NEED THAT EXTRA SET OF HANDS TO JUST HELP. WITH THE SECURITY WORK IN THE DISCIPLINE WORK, AND SO WE'RE PROPOSING THAT THERE BE AN ELEMENTARY SUPERVISOR FOR THE GROUP AND FIVE FLOATERS TO BE ASSIGNED TO ELEMENTARY'S SO HOW? EXCEPT EXPECT THIS WILL WORK IS THIS FLOATERS WILL BE IN A SCHOOL EVERY DAY. UM, BUT POSSIBLY MOVED AROUND AS NEEDED . IF WE HAVE ONGOING ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED IN THE SCHOOL SO THIS WOULD DRAMATICALLY INCREASE OUR SECURITY CAPABILITIES AND, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW WHAT. SECURING A BUILDING TAKES TREMENDOUS TEAMWORK. AND YOU KNOW, ONE PERSON CAN'T DO THAT ALONE. BUT ONE THING WE'VE LEARNED GOING THROUGH THIS PANDEMIC. YOU KNOW WHEN WE PUT UM WHETHER IT WAS THE ESTER SUBS OR THE DIFFERENT THING WE DID JUST TO PUT MORE HANDS MAKE HANDS AVAILABLE IN THE SCHOOLS WHERE WE COULD. IT'S MADE A DIFFERENCE. UM AND WE HAVEN'T DEPLOYED ANYONE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS WHO SAT WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO DO. I KNOW PRINCIPLES KEPT IN VERY BUSY. AND SO AS PEOPLE HAVE NOTED, WE HAVE SEEN CHANGES IN BEHAVIORS. WE'VE SEEN CHANGES IN STUDENT BEHAVIORS. WE'VE SEEN CHANGES IN ADULT BEHAVIORS, BOTH THOSE WHO WORK FOR US AND THOSE WHO DON'T AND, UM HAVING AN EXTRA SET OF HANDS TO HELP WITH SECURITY AGAIN. THIS TEAM CAN BE VERY WELL TRAINED. I MEAN, THEY CAN BE TRAINED AND EVERYTHING RELATED TO SECURITY, BUT ALSO WHAT WE NEED TO DEESCALATE SITUATIONS AND COUNSEL AND SUPPORT AS YOU KNOW, AS OFTEN COMES FROM EVERY ADULT WHO WORKS IN THE BUILDING TO BUILD SUPPORT KIDS SO THIS ISN'T A VOTE. THAT'S JUST INFORMATION TONIGHT.

BUT YOU WILL SEE THIS COMING DOWN SOON. I JUST WANTED YOU TO BE AWARE AND I THINK I HEARD COMMENTS FROM JUST ABOUT EVERY ONE OF YOU LAST WEEK. ABOUT THE NEED FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS, SO I'M APPRECIATIVE THAT WE HAVE A TEAM. THAT'S YOU KNOW, DONE THE WORK AND IT'S BEEN. I FEEL VERY GOOD ABOUT THIS RECOMMENDATION. THANK YOU. UM MR BROOKS AND DR GAREN, JER, PLEASE ACCEPT MY APOLOGY FOR FORGETTING TO INTRODUCE YOU IN THE BEGINNING. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE WORK YOU DO. WERE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM ANY OF THE BOARD MEMBERS, MISS KARWACKI? WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE CURRENT S R O POSITIONS, ZERO POSITIONS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE AND WHAT WE WILL, AS DR OLSON SAID. WILL CONTINUE TO UTILIZE THE SCHOOL SAFETY LIAISON POSITION IS THAT CAN DO IT BETWEEN OUR STAFF, OUR STUDENTS AND OUR SORROW BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN SO KEY. BEING ABLE TO ADDRESS INTERVENTIONS THAT RISE TO THE LEVEL OF NEEDING THAT INTERVENTION ATTENTION BUT NOT NECESSARILY RISING TO THE LEVEL OF NEEDING LAW ENFORCEMENT INTERVENTION AND ATTENTION.

THANK YOU. TREES WAS RICCARDI. SO HAVE A COMMENT AND I HAVE A QUESTION. UM. DR BOLSON MENTIONED THAT WE'RE ALL AWARE OF SOME OF THE ESCALATIONS THAT HAVE HAPPENED OVER THE TIME.

PAST MONTH OR SO, AND THE PUBLIC WAS VERY CONCERNED AS THEY SHOULD BE WITH SOME OF THE BEHAVIORS THAT WE'VE SEEN. I'M REALLY HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU PUT TOGETHER, AND IT'S REALLY GREAT.

THE WAY YOU SOLICITED THE FEEDBACK. I'M DISAPPOINTED THAT , UM, THE PUBLIC THAT WE'RE VERY CONCERNED THIS EVENING COULDN'T HAVE STAYED LONGER. TO HEAR SOME OF THE OUTCOMES AND, UM MY REALLY APPRECIATE PERSONAL SCHEDULES AND HOW IT'S DIFFICULT . I'M HOPING THAT THEY WILL STREAM THIS BECAUSE THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF MISINFORMATION OF WHAT WE ARE AND AREN'T DOING AND IT'S JUST DISAPPOINTING. I WISH THEY COULD HEAR THE FINE WORK THAT YOU KNOW YOU BOTH HAVE PUT TOGETHER FOR THIS. THIS THIS MIC TO MY QUESTION. THE TOTAL POSITIONS WILL THEY REPORT THROUGH DONOVAN OR HOW IS THAT GOING TO WORK? YES MAN. THEY WOULD ALL REPORT TO THE OFFICERS. CYGNUS SECURITY. MM THOSE WHO ARE SCHOOL BASE WOULD WORK UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE PRINCIPLE OF THE BUILDING THAT THEY WILL BE ASSIGNED TO WHAT THEY WOULD DO THAT THROUGH THE OFFICE OF SAFETY. AND SO HOW WILL THOSE AND MAYBE WE'RE DIVING A LITTLE BIT TOO DEEP RIGHT NOW? AND YOU HAVE A MAP THAT OUT, BUT, UM, HOW IS THAT GOING TO WORK THAT YOU WILL KNOW WHERE THEY ARE? WHAT'S GOING ON? OR HOW IS THAT COMMUNICATION? GOING TO BE CIRCULATED BACK TO CENTRAL OFFICE. SO WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE FROM SCHOOL LEVEL THROUGH WHAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING. SO THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION . SO AGAIN, AS WE LOOK IDENTIFIED THE SCHOOLS WHERE WE PUT OUR INITIAL A SCHOOL SAFE LIAISONS WILL WE WILL USE THAT SAME PROCESS. THE DIFFERENCE HERE IS THAT, UM THE PROPOSAL ALSO INCLUDES TWO REGIONAL SAFETY SUPERVISORS. WHERE ARE

[01:30:05]

SCHOOL BASED AND ARE FLOATERS WILL ANSWER IMMEDIATELY TO THEM . AND THEN OUR TWO REGIONAL MANAGERS, OF COURSE, WOULD ANSWER DIRECTLY TO ME. AND FROM THAT, THAT'S WHERE WE WILL CREATE. OUR ACCOUNTABILITY ARE SCHEDULING AND OUR ASSIGNMENTS. AND WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE. THE SORROW AND THE FLOATER LIKE WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT THE SCHOOL BASE AND FLOATER SO ARE FLOATERS? WOULD WOULD PRIMARILY BE UTILIZED TO GO IN TO OUR SCHOOLS? THAT WE NEED TO HAVE A SHIFT IN THE CULTURE AND CLIMATE. WE HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL RECENTLY WHERE WE HAD SOME CHALLENGES, AND THEY SEEM TO BE PERSISTENT. SO WHAT WE DECIDED TO DO WAS TO REASSIGN A COUPLE OF R S R. I'M SORRY OF OUR SCHOOLS SAFE LIAISONS. TO THAT SCHOOL THAT WAS EXPERIENCING THOSE CHALLENGES IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. OUR SCHOOLS SAFE LIAISONS WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT SO THAT WE COULD RESTORE AND MAINTAIN THE CLIMATE WITHIN THAT BILL. THEN THEY WENT BACK TO THEIR HOME SCHOOLS, WHEREAS THE FLOATERS WITH WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO GO INTO ANY TYPE OF SCHOOL. UM, THAT'S EXPERIENCING THAT TYPE OF SITUATION. NOW, IF WE DON'T HAVE THOSE SITUATIONS THAT THAT ARE ACTIVELY IN NEED OF A FLOATER, THEN ARE FLOATERS FROM DAY TO DAY WOULD BE ASSIGNED TO SCHOOLS THERE WILL BE SCHEDULED TO BE IN SCHOOLS AND AGAIN, WE WOULD USE THE SAME PROCESS AND FORMULA AND IDENTIFYING THE SCHOOLS THAT COULD MOST USED THAT LEVEL OF SUPPORT. AND SO WHEN THE FLOATER IS IN THE SCHOOL THERE OBSERVING THE SCHOOL, THEY MIGHT BE AWARE OF STUDENT WHERE ESCALATIONS HAVE HAPPENED, WHERE THEY MIGHT HAVE TO INTERVENE WITH THE STUDENT OR BEYOND THAT, DEPENDING ON THE PROTOCOL THAT'S IN PLACE, SO WHEN THEY'RE NOT REASSIGNED TO FLOAT AND SUPPORT ANOTHER SCHOOL. THEN THEY WOULD FUNCTION IN THE SAME WAY THAT SCHOOL BASED SCHOOL SAFELY EXONS FUNCTION. THANK YOU.

RESPONSIBILITIES WILL BE THE SAME. LET ME LET ME TAKE A MOMENT AND MAYBE PAINT A PICTURE SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT WHAT THESE HANDS MAY HELP WITH. SO. IF THERE'S NOT OCCASIONS SCHOOL , PERHAPS YOU HAVE MULTIPLE PEOPLE INVOLVED. LET'S SAY YOU HAVE FIVE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE ALTERCATION. WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN THAT MOMENT, EACH OF THOSE FIVE NEED TO GO SOMEWHERE AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO SUPERVISE THEM, AND THEY NEED TO BE SEPARATE. THEY CAN'T BE IN THE SAME ROOM BECAUSE YOU NEED THEM SITTING IN WRITING. RIGHT IN YOUR STATEMENTS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED, AND THEN SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE GOING OUT AND GETTING WITNESSES. THEY'RE COMING IN AND WRITING THEIR STATEMENTS AT THE SAME TIME WE'RE INTERVIEWING. AND SOMEWHERE IN THIS PROCESS FOR MAKING A DECISION ABOUT RESPONSES, CONSEQUENCES THOSE KINDS OF THINGS AND THEN WE'RE CALLING PARENTS AND THEN WE'RE BRINGING PEOPLE IN. THIS IS A LOT OF HANDS, AND SO IF YOU HAVE AN INCIDENT LIKE THAT, AND ONE SCHOOL THE ENTIRE ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM IS OFFLINE BECAUSE YOU NEED EVERYBODY. YOU NEED ALL THOSE HANDS TO DO THAT TO ADDRESS THAT INCIDENT IN A TIMELY AND COMPREHENSIVE MANNER. SO. IN THE CASE NOW WHERE WE MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT OCCUR. WE NOW HAVE PEOPLE WE CAN DEPLOY AS NEEDED TO GO BE THOSE EXTRA SETS OF HANDS WHO CAN? WELL NO, THE WHOLE PROCESS WHO YOU KNOW, KEEPING KIDS SAFE, KEEPING THEM SEPARATE GETTING, YOU KNOW, DOING THE INVESTIGATION, GETTING THE STATEMENTS AND MM. THE FACT THAT WE HAVEN'T HAD THAT HAS BEEN A TREMENDOUS BURDEN ON THE ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF, BECAUSE USUALLY THERE THERE REALLY THE ONLY ONES AVAILABLE TO DO THAT TYPE OF WORK IF YOU HAVE A LARGER INCIDENT SO JUST ON THE DAY TO DAY BASIS UNFORTUNATELY THERE I MEAN, AS WE DISCUSSED, WE'VE HAD MORE INCIDENTS RECENTLY. I DON'T KNOW WE'RE GETTING TO THAT. WE NEED TO GET TO THE END OF THE YEAR AND GIVE EVERYBODY THE CHANCE TO CATCH HER BREATH. BUT TO HAVE A TEAM IN PLACE TO HELP WITH THAT, THAT'S TRAINED AND THEN YOU HAD THE BENEFIT OF SEEING OUR SECURITY LIAISONS HERE AND HOW PROFESSIONAL AND AMAZING NATHAN IN SECURING THIS THIS BUILDING WHEN WE'VE HAD SOME INTERESTING INTERESTING EVENINGS AND SO. YOU KNOW, WITH THE RIGHT TRAINING AND THE RIGHT TEAM WORK I CAN SEE CREATING MUCH, MUCH BETTER, SAFER PLACE. IT'S REALLY GREAT TO HEAR IT. A LOT OF COMMENTS ABOUT WE DON'T CARE WHERE WE IGNORE IT, AND IT'S REALLY NICE TO SEE THIS PROGRAM FORMALIZED IN THAT LINE AND REALLY APPRECIATE THE WORK. YOU BOTH DID. LAST QUESTION I HAVE IS I KNOW THERE WAS A SURVEY. IS THERE GOING TO BE ANY SUMMARY OF THE SURVEY THAT YOU'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO SHARE WITH THE BOARD? YES SO WE'RE STILL COMPILING THE INFORMATION? UM AND WE HAVE OUR MEMBER OF MPS. MR IS MONO WHO WILL COLLECT AND DISAGGREGATE ALL OF THAT DATA. AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO GIVE THAT TO US AND WE WILL SHARE WITH THE BOARD AND FROM THAT WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO ESTABLISH OUR PRIORITY. GREAT. THANK YOU. SO DR PHILLIPS HAS A QUESTION, BUT I WILL CALL THE ON THE REST OF YOU, UM TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T MISS ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. DR PHILLIPS. THANKS FOR THE PRESENTATION. SCHOOL SYSTEMS ABSOLUTE WORST NIGHTMARE. AN

[01:35:07]

ACTIVE SHOOTER. UM. WE'RE ONLY ABLE TO STAFF A CERTAIN NUMBER OF SCHOOLS WITH SAFETY SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER, WHICH I ASSUME ARE ARMED. WHILE ON SCHOOL PROPERTY, AND THAT'S PROBABLY THE QUICKEST WAY TO DEESCALATE. AN ACTIVE SHOOTER. WHAT PLAN AND OBVIOUSLY TIMING IS SO CRITICAL IN THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES, WHAT ALTERNATIVE THOUGHTS HAVE YOU ALL DISCUSSED. I DON'T NOTHING IS ON THE TABLE. ABOUT WHAT TO DO WHEN, IF GOD FORBID, AN EPISODE LIKE THAT SHOULD HAPPEN AT A SCHOOL WHERE THERE'S NOT AN S R O PRESIDENT AT THE TIME. ANY THOUGHTS ABOUT HAVING CERTAIN TEACHERS TAKE GUN TRAINING AND HAVE. FIREARMS AVAILABLE IN A SAFE OR SOMETHING. I MEAN, I DON'T I'M THINKING, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT POLICE OFFICER. I'M BUT I'M JUST WONDERING, YOU KNOW, WITH THAT TYPE OF SITUATION. DO WE JUST LET THE ACTIVE SHOOTER PLAY OUT UNTIL THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE GETS THERE? WHAT WHAT THOUGHTS HAVE COME ACROSS YOUR MIND. OKAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION. I CAN TELL YOU I'VE HAD NO CONVERSATION REGARDING THE ARMING OF TEACHERS. I WILL TELL YOU THAT WE HAVE TRAINED, ASSERT ACTIVIST SALE AND CRITICAL RESPONSE TEAMS. IN EVERY SCHOOL THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT. NOW WE'VE HAD A LAPSE IN TIME IN TERMS OF THE CONTINUITY OF THAT TRAINING BECAUSE WE WERE FORCED TO CLOSE BECAUSE COAT. WE'RE NOW IDENTIFYING DOCTOR GUARANTEE MYSELF AND OUR SCHOOL SAFETY WORKGROUP. ALL THOSE MEMBERS OF THE DISTRICT WHO HAVE NOT HAD THE ASSERT TRAINING WERE ALSO IDENTIFYING SCHOOLS WHERE WE NEED TO. ENSURE THAT WE HAVE OUR SEARCH TRAINING STAFF BECAUSE WHEN WE CREATED THE TRAIN THE TRAINER PROGRAM WE ENSURE THAT WE HAD TRAINERS IN EVERY ONE OF OUR SCHOOLS BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE A GUN IN THE SCHOOL. IT'S MORE ABOUT WHAT OUR RESPONSE IS AND HOW WE TRAIN MEMBERS OF OUR DISTRICT TO RESPOND. TO THOSE ACTIVISTS, SAILLANT SITUATIONS AND SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT EMERGED ON, UM, OUR CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR STAKEHOLDER GROUPS, AND THERE'S LEGITIMATE CONCERN AROUND THAT, AND THAT'S WHY WE ARE ON A TRAJECTORY TO GETTING BACK TO, UM, ORGANIZING AND DESIGNING A SCHEDULE WHERE WE CAN GET OUR MEMBERS OF THE DISTRICT TRAINED AND THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY BEEN TRAINED, HAVE THE REFRESHER TRAINING. BUT I WILL TELL YOU THAT. CURRENTLY OUR SCHOOLS ARE NOT ONLY, UM EXPECTED, BUT THEY'RE ALSO CARRYING OUT ACTIVIST SELLING DRILLS, WHICH ARE MANDATED BY THE STATE OF MARYLAND, NOW AS A PART OF A CONTINUUM OF EMERGENCY DRILLS THAT HAVE TO BE CONDUCTED IN ADDITION TO THE EVACUATION DRILLS, FIRE DRILLS DISASTER DRILLS. THE ACTIVISTS SAILLANT DRILLS MUST BE CONDUCTED AS WELL . AND WE HAVE CREATED A FORMAT THAT DIFFERENTIATES WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE FROM THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LEVEL AND GIVEN DIRECTION TO OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL KIDS.

AND AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL WHEN WE WORK WITH OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS AS WELL AS OUR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, AND WE STILL DO HAVE MEMBERS IN OUR SCHOOL OF SCHOOLS ACROSS THE DISTRICT THAT DID RECEIVE THE TRAINING TRAINER. TRAINING THAT CAN ALSO GIVE GUIDANCE IN THE SCHOOLS.

BUT AS WE EXPAND THIS PROGRAM, WE WILL HAVE MORE TRAINED AND CERTIFIED PEOPLE TO REALLY SUPPORT THOSE EFFORTS THROUGHOUT THE DISH. DR PRIORITY. YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I HAVE NO QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS KELLY. NO QUESTIONS. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION AND HAPPY TO HEAR THAT YOU'RE GOING TO GET SOME MORE SUPPORT. DR HAROLD. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION OF MY QUESTIONS HAVE ALREADY BEEN ANSWERED.

THANK YOU. MR ROBINSON. I HAD JUST ONE COMMENT. FIRST I THINK THAT THAT POZOLE IS AN EXCELLENT PROPOSAL. I THINK THAT WHEN YOU UM WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE HISTORICAL DATA AND OVERLY, UM, A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT'S GOING ON IN OUR COMMUNITY COUNTRY TODAY THAT WE. WE'RE WELL SERVED BY BACK STRATEGY SAID TO THAT, BUT MY QUESTION IS THAT RELATED TO THE FLOATER. WHAT IS THE TRANSPORTATION? HOW WILL YOU GET FLOATERS FROM. LET'S SAY YOU HAVE A SITUATION WHERE FLOATERS ARE ACTUALLY A. MM AS A SCHOOL WHERE THERE'S SOME ACTIVITY. ON SOME SOME, UH, ALREADY GOING ON,

[01:40:04]

AND THEN YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY OR AFTER SCHOOL STARTS, SOMETHING HAPPENS AND YOU WANT TO GET ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL THAT THAT GROUP OF PERSONNEL. TO THAT LOCATION HAS ANY THOUGHT BEEN GIVEN TO HOW YOU SUPPOSED TO BE TRANSPORTED? HOW THEY'LL GET TO FROM FROM ONE LOCATION TO THE END? THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION , MR ROBINSON. NO WE HAVE NOT GONE INTO THAT PORTION OF THE OPERATIONAL PLAN IN TERMS OF HOW THEY WOULD GET THERE. CURRENTLY WHAT WE DO IN TERMS OF HOW WE RESPOND TO THOSE NEEDS THAT OTHER SCHOOLS IS I WOULD WRITE AN OPERATIONAL PLAN I WOULD CONTACT NOTIFIED THE PRINCIPLES OF THE SCHOOLS THAT WOULD HAVE THEIR SCHOOL SAFE LIAISON ALONE , AND THEY WILL BE NOTIFIED THAT THAT WILL BE THEIR REPORTING ASSIGNMENT FOR THE NEXT DAY UNTIL OTHERWISE NOTIFIED. IN TERMS OF RESPONDING TO, UM, CRITICAL INCIDENT. I WOULD SAY THAT RIGHT NOW. GIVEN THAT WE DON'T HAVE A STANDARD PROCEDURE FOR THAT RIGHT NOW, IF WE FOUND THE NEED AND WE NEEDED TO MAKE THAT CALL 11 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING TO LET HER PRINCIPAL KNOW THAT A SCHOOL NEED SIGNIFICANT SUPPORT. UM THEN WE WOULD REDIRECT RESOURCES TO THAT SCHOOL TO SUPPORT THAT SCHOOL. NO. ONE QUESTION. THANK YOU. MS WELCOME. THANK YOU FOR THIS PRESENTATION. I HAVE NO QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. MISS GUTIERREZ. THANK YOU. I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I GENUINELY APPRECIATE THE WORK AND EFFORT THAT WENT INTO THIS PLAN. AND THAT WE'VE BEEN VERY, VERY FORTUNATE WITH THE SAFETY LEAVES ON THAT. WE HAVE CURRENTLY. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVEN'T MET THEM. THEY'RE ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. THEY DO A TERRIFIC JOB, WATCHED THEM BUILD RELATIONSHIPS EVEN WITHIN THE BOARD OF ED BUILDING, AND THEY ARE MASTERS AT WHAT THEY DO SO YOU KNOW THEIR TRAINING AND THEIR PERSONALITIES AND EVERYTHING THAT GOES INTO GETTING THEM IN THE JOB IS OBVIOUSLY WORKED. UM SOME EXCEEDINGLY APPRECIATIVE OF THAT AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION. THANK YOU, UM. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ECHO THAT IN THAT I FIND THEM TO JUST BE MENTALLY EXTREMELY NICE PEOPLE, BUT VERY PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE. AND MR DOWN, MR BROOKS, I CAN'T SEE ENOUGH OF GOOD THINGS ABOUT YOU AND WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR THE SCHOOL SYSTEM. AND I'M SURE DR GAREN JER HAS BEEN A GREAT ASSET IN GOING THROUGH AND DOING THIS WORK WITH YOU. SO THANK YOU BOTH VERY MUCH. THANK YOU GUYS. THANK

[H. Recommendation Regarding Proposed Revisions to Board Policy on Use of Equipment/Materials by Students, Patrick P. Spicer, Esq., General Counsel]

YOU. NEXT WE HAVE RECOMMENDATION AND PROPOSED REVISIONS TO BOARD POLICIES. EURO 20050. USED TO EQUIPMENT MATERIALS BY STUDENTS. MR SPICER, YOU ARE. I DARE SAY THIS MIGHT BE YOUR LAST DISCUSSION FOR US ONE MORE. ONE MORE. YOU GET TWO IN A ROW. SORRY. LAST TWO LAST TWO. THANK YOU AND GOOD EVENING. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT BOLSON. UM WE HAVE TWO POLICIES THIS EVENING THAT OUR PRESENTATION ITEMS ONLY, AND, UH, WON'T BE ACTED UPON.

DECISION AS DECISION ITEMS. AFTER THE 30 DAY PERIOD EXPIRES IN THE PRESENTATION TODAY. THE FIRST PRESENTATION CONCERNS USE OF EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS BY STUDENTS. AND THAT'S A POLICY THAT, UM, BECAUSE ADOPTED MANY YEARS AGO OR SEVERAL YEARS AGO. AND LATE STUDENT USE OF SCHOOL PROVIDED OR A CPS PROVIDED EQUIPMENT EQUIPMENT THAT'S PROVIDED TO STUDENTS. AND SETS FORTH CERTAIN CRITERIA REGARDING THE STUDENTS RESPONSIBILITIES TO USE THE EQUIPMENT. NOW WITH ORDINARY CARE AND NOT TO BE NEGLIGENT NOT TO DO ANYTHING INTENTIONAL TO DESTROY OR DAMAGE THE EQUIPMENT. THE WITH THE ADVENT OF THE USE AND PROVISION OF QUIT MINT, TOO. SPECIFICALLY ELECTRONIC DEVICES IN THE FORM OF LAPTOPS. ONE BOX ETCETERA TO STUDENTS BY HTTPS. MM. WE NOW HAVE. AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE STUDENTS ARE UTILIZING HCPS PROVIDED EQUIPMENT. IN SCHOOLS.

THE POLICY CURRENTLY SAYS THAT IT APPLIES ONLY TO OFF SCHOOL PREMISES. USE OF EQUIPMENT, WHICH WAS THE CONVENTIONAL SITUATION. PRIOR. TO THE PROVISION OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES

[01:45:08]

TO STUDENTS FOR USE IN SCHOOL. UM SO WHAT WE ARE ASKING OR PROPOSING IS ADDING THE LANGUAGE TO THE POLICY, WHICH WOULD STATE THAT THE POLICY APPLIES NOT ONLY TO OFF SCHOOL PREMISES USE OF HTTPS PROVIDED EQUIPMENT BUT ALSO TO IN SCHOOL OR ON SCHOOL PREMISES USE OF EQUIPMENT BY STUDENTS. SO THAT WHAT WE HAVE NOW IS OUR STUDENTS BRINGING IN HCPS PROVIDED EQUIPMENT. IN BAGS OR JUST HANDLING THEM IN SCHOOL. UM, THERE'S BEEN. INSTANCES OF DAMAGES OR DESTRUCTION TO THAT EQUIPMENT. OH, AND. WE HAVE BEEN STYMIED TO SOME DEGREE WITH RESPECT TO EFFORTS TO OBTAIN RESTITUTION FOR COSTS RELATED TO UM, REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF THE EQUIPMENT. BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THE POLICY ONLY REFERS TO OFF SCHOOL PREMISES USE. SO BASICALLY, THIS IS AN EFFORT TO STILL A. ESSENTIALLY A LOOPHOLE IN THE POLICY WAS DEVELOPED THROUGH THE NOW SYSTEM. WIDE USE OF HCS HCPS PROVIDED EQUIPMENT IN THE FORM OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES TO STUDENTS. SO THAT CONCLUDES MY DISCUSSION ON THE ON THIS POLICY. I'D BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS, PAUL MR CARDI. SO HOW DOES THE CHANGE IN THE POLICY SUPPORT RESTITUTION? IN THE SENSE THAT WE HAVE HAD PARENTS WHO HAVE SAID WELL, I CANNOT YOUR POLICY SAYS THIS, UM DO THEY KNOW THE POLICY? THEY GO TO THE POLICY PARENTS HAVE GONE TO THE POLICY. PARENTS SIGN AND THE STUDENTS SIGNED AN AGREEMENT WHICH REFERENCES THE POLICY. PARENTS AND OR THE STUDENT. THEN LOOK AT THE LOOK AND GO TO THE WEBSITE AND LOOK AT THE POLICY, WHICH IS UNDERSTANDABLE, AND THEY SEE THAT THE POLICY ONLY RELATES TO UM, POSSIBLE GROUNDS ISSUES. ANS SERVICES DEPARTMENT HAVE ASKED TO TIGHTEN THAT UP SO THAT WE CAN RECOVER DAMAGES WHERE APPROPRIATE. RESTITUTION. ROUND FOR ON SCHOOL PREMISES. MM DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?

[I. Recommendation Regarding Proposed Revisions to Board Policy on Bullying, Cyberbullying, Harassment, or Intimidation of Students, Patrick P. Spicer, Esq., General Counsel]

HEARING NONE. I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND GO TO THE NEXT ITEM RECOMMENDATIONS PROPOSED REVISIONS TO BOARD POLICY 24 DISHES 0006-0. BULLYING CYBERBULLYING, HARASSMENT OR INTIMIDATION OF STUDENTS. YES SO THANK YOU AGAIN AND THIS POLICY IS. A POLICY THE BULLYING HARASSMENT AND CYBER BULLYING AND INTIMIDATION OF STUDENTS AS A POLICY THAT UM, HAS BEEN REQUIRED BY STATE LAW FOR I GUESS I'LL SAY 10 YEARS ON THAT, BUT IT COULD BE MEMORIAL LESS TO ADDRESS INCIDENTS THAT, UM OH, THOSE KINDS OF ACTIVITIES IN SCHOOLS. TOM. THE STATUTE OR ONE OF THE STATUTES THAT AUTHORIZES AND REQUIRES THE THIS POLICY ALSO STATES THAT PERIODICALLY.

THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION IS TO PROVIDE UM UPDATES REGARDING PROPOSALS AND WHAT IT RECOMMENDS WITH STAKEHOLDER. COMMENT AND INPUT CHANGES TO ANY CHANGES TO UPDATE THE POLICY. AND THAT IN A WAY THAT WOULD. MAKE IT MORE EFFECTIVE POLICY BASED ON WHAT DO WHAT SCHOOL SYSTEMS ARE EXPERIENCING AND WHICH REPORTED BACK TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. AND SO PERIODIC REVIEW WAS DONE. AND AS A RESULT OF THAT PERIODIC REVIEW VARIOUS CHANGES WERE PROPOSED AND. ATTACHED TO YOUR BOARD REPORT IS THE STATE SUPERINTENDENT.

MEMORANDUM OF DECEMBER 7TH 2021, IN WHICH THE. PROPOSED CHANGES ARE DISCUSSED AND ALSO A NEW PROPOSED MODEL POLICY. ISSUED BY THE STATE DEPARTMENT EDUCATION. IS REFERENCED AND DISCUSSED IN YOUR EXHIBIT. TWO DEER. COURT INFORMATIONAL REPORT. AND. WE HAVE WORKED INTERNALLY HERE. I WORKED WITH MR HENNIGAN, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES AND DR PAULA STANTON, THE SUPERVISOR. EQUITY AND CULTURAL PROFICIENCY. AS WELL AS SOME OF THEIR PEOPLE THAT WORK FOR THEM, TOO. INCORPORATE THE NEW REQUIREMENTS OR PROPOSED CHANGES ACTUALLY

[01:50:04]

REQUIRED CHANGES IN THE NEW MSD POLICY. AND. THESE CHANGES I'VE LISTED IN THE BOARD REPORT. I'LL JUST REVIEW QUICKLY. TO OUR NEW AND ADDITIONAL DEFINITIONS OF BULLYING, CYBERBULLYING, HARASSMENT AND INTIMIDATION. IN ADDITION TO THE ONES THE DEFINITIONS OF THOSE TERMS UNLESS THEY DIDN'T APPEAR BEFORE. UM THAT ALREADY APPEAR IN THE POLICY. CORRECT AND OUR CURRENT POLICY TOM. THROUGHOUT THE TERM VICTIM HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH TARGETED STUPID WE ALSO HAVE INCLUDED IN THE POLICY. PROCEDURES LEADING TO INVESTIGATION AND REPORTING OF BULLYING, CYBERBULLYING, HARASSMENT, INTIMIDATION. AND AS MUCH AS THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION WANTED. THE PROCEDURES IN THE POLICY ITSELF. SO WE'VE INCORPORATED MOST OF OUR.

CURRENT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES POLICIES, BUT THE PROCEDURE IS GOING TO INVESTIGATION REPORTING IN THIS PROPOSED REVISED POLICY FOR US AND WE'VE ALSO. BUT NO UPDATE IN THE CONTACT INFORMATION FOR THE VERSUS PERSONS THAT MST WHO ARE COMING. HAVE WITHIN THEIR PURVIEW. UM, THIS THESE TOPICS BULLYING HARASSMENT, CYBER BULLYING, ETCETERA. I'LL JUST BRIEFLY GO OVER A COUPLE OF THE CHANGES THAT I THINK ARE MOST SALIENT. AND THERE'S BASICALLY DEAL WITH THE DEFINITIONS. THERE'S A NEW DEFINITION OF BULLYING, WHICH NOW IS DEFINED. IN ADDITION TO OUR OWN DEFINITION OF IRAQ'S OUR CURRENT DEFINITION, BUT A NEW DEFINITION WILL BE BULLYING MEANS UNWANTED, INTENTIONAL BEHAVIOR, WHICH IS DEMEANING. AMONG STUDENTS AND INVOLVES A REAL OR PERCEIVED POWER IMBALANCE. TOM. AND IT'S QUITE LIKELY OR HAS BEEN REPEATED OVER TIME. THERE'S A DEFINITION OF IMBALANCE OF POWER. CYBERBULLYING IS ALSO NOW DEFINED AS THE BULLYING THAT I JUST DESCRIBED EXCEPT BY CYBER MEANS. AND HARASSMENT ALSO HAS A NEW ADDITIONAL DEFINITION MEANS ACTUAL PERCEIVED NEGATIVE ACTIONS WHICH OFFEND RIDICULE OR DEMEAN ANOTHER STUDENT WITH REGARD TO RACE, ETHNICITY AND VARIOUS PROTECTIVE STATUSES.
