​Last met on June 11, 2020. It was a closed meeting, limited to committee members and special guests— not open to public. Meeting notes available here: https://www.k12.wa.us/sites/default/files/public/safetycenter/pubdocs/SSSWAC%20Meeting%20Notes%2006-11-20.pdf There is a hiring freeze to budget shortfalls in the wake of COVID-19. So—the budget proviso that passed regarding funding for the School Safety Center positions in every Educational Service District is on hold. The funding was to support hiring two positions in each ESD: 1. Someone to support our local schools with implementing threat assessment protocols and 2. A Behavioral Health Navigator who is to provide resources/supports to schools for behavioral and mental health issues/needs. The Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee (JLARC) published their report on the first responder mapping system currently used across the state in K-12 schools. They found only 80% of school districts and 70% of law enforcement agency responders use the system. And—only 33%-53% intend to actually use it during an incident. Their recommendation is organizations need to do more on training and use of the system (so it gets used as it should) and that there needs to be a better process in place for ensuring that the system stays current with technology and data collection (which is part of why peeps aren’t using it).
