 TVUSD Framework for Safe Schools – Dr. Scott Hagerman
Dr. Hagerman opened his presentation with a PowerPoint (see attached) which provided an outline of the presentations tonight.

Dr. Hagerman spoke about all the planning for school safety, emergency preparedness and safety assessments, which began under Dr. Price’s leadership and which have continued to evolve and be a priority. There is ongoing training for staff, administrators, teachers and students. Training opportunities are available online, hands-on training with local first responders and at a federal level with FEMA. Our district was one of five school districts in the nation to be selected to attend a grant-funded FEMA training in Emmitsburg, Maryland at the National Emergency Training Center in July. The District has worked diligently to make connections with local resources and develop lasting relationships with a common purpose – to keep our students and staff safe. The next step is to bring our infrastructure

up to date – our schools are in dire need of security improvements.

Dr. Hagerman asked Ms. Claire Place to introduce our school safety and security partners.

Ms. Place introduced the seven individuals who were part of the TVUSD team that attended the FEMA training and other partners:

First responders:
Battalion Chief Jay Karlik, Rural Metro Fire Department
Sheriff Deputy Scott McLeod, School Resource Officer (SRO), Pima County Sheriff's Department

Community organization:
Director Mr. Bruce Whitney, ICSAVE - Integrated Community Solutions to Active Violence Events

TVUSD Administrators:

ADDITIONAL PARTNERS:
Community Relations Coordinator Ms. Nancy Heiser with Hudbay Minerals
Pima County School Superintendent Mr. Dustin Williams ICSAVE Mr. Mike Proh
ICSAVE Mr. Mark Savage

Ms. Place asked everyone to share what their own takeaway was from the FEMA training / Multi-Hazard School Emergency Response:
o Dr. Hagerman said it was encouraging to hear much of what we’ve done has established a solid foundation. We came away with action steps to continue our work in this important area; we are on the right track.

o Ms. Place said it was important to have members of the team with experts at the table at the same time to collaborate. The focused trainings were from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. with meaningful discussion throughout.

o Chief Karlik said it was an honor to work with a district with this level of commitment to student and staff safety. This was a great opportunity learn from one another.
o Deputy McLeod talked about how the team worked through some of our responses in the scenarios to develop a common understanding of how to response in an emergency.
o Mr. Whitney enjoyed the collaborative work and complimented the district for being on the leading edge for emergency planning.
o Ms. Rosalik said it was good to hear about different perspectives in given scenarios and the experts were excellent in facilitating our work.
o Mr. Gastellum said it helped put focus on our planning, protocol and needs and offered the high school as a resource for future trainings.

 Update on School Safety Planning and Training – Ms. Claire Place

Ms. Place asked everyone to describe their part in our school safety planning and training collaborative efforts.

Deputy Scott McLeod, SRO, Pima County Sheriff's Department spoke to the Governing Board, providing a brief history of his law enforcement background and his connection to the district - he is a former TVUSD student.
Deputy McLeod talked about how important it is to build relationships and trust with students and staff. He participates in as many school activities and events as he can. He encourages staff to call him with any questions or concerns. He wants to be a resource to school staff, and is available to help with law enforcement follow-up investigations for continuity of service. Deputy McLeod described to Board members the active shooter training and school summer workshops which he and members of the SRO Unit provided at no cost to the school district. Scenario training is an important part of preparedness. There was realistic scenario training at Tanque Verde High School this summer, with multiple law enforcement agency first responders and students who provided different realistic scenario trainings for teachers and staff members involving possible active school threats.

Battalion Chief Jay Karlik, with Rural Metro Fire Department, addressed the Governing Board. He expressed his appreciation to the leadership for making school safety a priority. The Tanque Verde Unified School District is leading the way in student and staff safety and helping to create a resilient community.
Chief Karlik added, in his role as Battalion Chief with his oversite responsibilities he knows that for every dollar spent on safety and security there is a four dollar return on investment.
In an effort to add an extra layer of defense against aggression, Rural Metro donated security sleeves to be used in our schools. These are used to cover the hinge of a classroom door to prevent or slow the opening of a door. The sleeves are made from decommissioned fire hose cut into 6 – 8 inch in lengths.

Mr. Bruce Whitney, Director, ICSAVE - Integrated Community Solutions to Active Violence Events, talked about the mission of ICSAVE – to protect our communities from preventable injury and death through education, training and empowerment. ICSAVE is Arizona based charitable foundation and has provided Control the Bleed training in our schools and within the community. Mr. Whitney said their goal is to make EVERYONE a first responder. Mr. Whitney introduced two of his colleagues, Mr. Mark Savage and Mr. Mike Proh both of whom helped with development and implementation of the Control the Bleed training program. This training has been provided to teachers and staff throughout TVUSD and all 9th grade students in2017/18, with plans to continue in 9th grade curriculum.

ICSAVE and Hudbay Minerals worked collaboratively to develop grant opportunity for schools in Pima County to receive bleeding control kits.

Ms. Nancy Heiser, Community Relations Coordinator with Hudbay Minerals, and Mr. Whitney presented the District with 20 Bleeding Control

kits for our schools. Tanque Verde is the first school district to be awarded this grant. Ms. Heiser added this is a great community partnership and Hudbay Minerals is honored to be able to contribute to school safety in Pima County.
Superintendent Williams, Ms. Place noted, has been instrumental in bringing school safety resources and information to area school districts.
Superintendent Mr. Dustin Williams, Pima County School Superintendent thanked the Governing Board and said, after hearing all about the safety and security training, “I feel safe in this district!” Mr. Williams talked about all the connections that have been made with local businesses, first responders and educational institutions to heighten awareness and contribute to the safety and security of our students. Mr. Williams commended Ms. Place in her efforts with ICSAVE and Hudbay Minerals grant efforts.

Deputy McLeod, Mr. Whitney and Chief Karlik all praised Ms. Place for her coordinated efforts regarding the FEMA training as well as the professional development and workshop training opportunities.
There were questions and comments from the audience. One gentleman spoke about the Stop the Bleed training he received from Mr. Whitney through his church and how great a training it is – stating everyone should get trained. A parent in the audience requested additional training for students.

Mr. Malis shared that all 9th graders receive the ICSAVE Stop the Bleed training as well as CPR training.

Ms. Fry acknowledged and thanked Ms. Place for all of her efforts toward this cause. In her role as Community Liaison some powerful connections and relationships have been made with this priority on student and staff safety.

Ms. Fry talked about the presentations tonight which demonstrate we’re doing all we can with safety and emergency training. The next step is improving infrastructure to help secure our campuses; she likened this school scenario to a three legged stool: Planning, Training and the third leg in the stool being Infrastructure. We have a 15 million dollar bond on the November 6th ballot; if it passes, 5.5 million will be dedicated toward campus infrastructure/security improvements.

Ms. Fry and Superintendent Hagerman personally thanked all the presenters for their commitment and service to our schools and gave each one a ceramic You Make a Difference mug created by our Community Programs pottery instructors.
