Our district suffered the most horrific event in its history on Thursday, May 6, 2021. You plan, practice, and prepare for a crisis, but we are never truly ready for it when it happens. We will be sharing the procedures we used to lock-down, evacuate, and reunify 952 students from our middle school. The effects of a school shooting involve more than the recovery of students, staff, parents, and the healing of a community. In returning to a new normal, school and district leaders will share how we work with local community partners to coordinate services for those affected by the event of May 6. This event and the recovery efforts have forced us to evaluate some of our procedures and protocols.

Have you ever had someone come to you in your capacity as a board member with a complaint? If the answer is yes, this workshop is for you. Being a board member can bring on situations that most would never expect to experience. While the unexpected may come to your door, how you prepare will make all the difference. Preparing for what to do before, during, and after a complaint takes many different skills. We will work together to identify best practices when it comes to those unexpected events that cause the board to feel as if they are facing the unexpected circumstances that no one told them would happen. We will focus on policy, legal, and practical strategies, and how to apply those approaches in your role.
