The school district has a responsibility to ensure equality for all people. Sensitivity Awareness needs to be provided by the district on a regular basis and at all grade levels to help diffuse the growing problems of harassment and hate crimes. Goals Create the District Safety Task Force to include administrators, teachers, other school staff, parents, students, and community members such as nurses, law enforcement, mental health practitioners, etc. to explore the safety of our schools, and its needs for further improvement.
