1: While ALICE training is part of the yearly plan for Twain Harte School, it isn't clear if this occurred during the COVID years amidst school closures and times of uncertainty. The most recent drill was in January 2022 and an interviewee stated that the school was actively trying to schedule another drill for this calendar school year but was waiting on Sheriff availability. The ALICE training is listed in the school's safety plan. Response: AGREE.

1: The district should ensure that the safety plan is updated routinely, and that all teachers, staff, students and parents are provided copies and pertinent training to develop current understanding. ALICE training should be yearly, and the Tuolumne County Sheriff's Office should prioritize and promote engagement with students and education around lockdowns and potential threats to the school. (F12.1) Response: IMPLEMENTED The Comprehensive School Safety Plan is reviewed annually by the School Site Council and adopted by the Board of Trustees before March 1 each year as required by Ed Code. Copies of the safety plan are available for public review in the school office. In discussions with staff it was recommended that ALICE drills be held with the Tuolumne County Sheriff's Office in the fall prior to the onset of winter weather, which could potentially interrupt the drills. In addition both administrators in the district will be completing certification to become ALICE trainers prior to the start of the 2023-24 school year.
