Items of discussion included the possibility of using Saturday dentention next school year rather than after school detention as is presently used. Students would be required to attend Saturday detention for up to four hours. Students that are assigned to Saturday detention and refuse to do so, will be out of school suspended instead. The elementary schools would prefer to continue with the present after school detention procedures presently in place. The Safe Schools Act was also discussed.
Procedures are in place in case of emergencies.
All classrooms in the district have a manual outlining the proper procedures to be used with each emergency. The Crisis Management Plan binders were distributed to those members present who did not already have a copy. Superintendent Diane Robertson thanked the committee for all the hours of work it took to put the information together. Staff members have a copy of the plan in their rooms. Should an emergency situation occur, the staff have been informed procedurally how to respond.
