Findings and Recommendations
5 findings
- The Grand Jury found that all school districts were trained in school security and threat assessment by the Ventura County Office of Education and conducted by the Ventura County Sheriff's Department.
Related Recommendations (1)
The Grand Jury recommends that each school district conduct a realistic threat assessment review as addressed in the training workshop. Agree - The District has formed a Threat Assessment committee this year and the committee has developed a first draft of the practices that would be followed at the various sites when there is a potential threat. This first draft will be reviewed again by the committee at the start of the school year. The Threat Assessment committee will be drafting not only practices, but forms and training recommendations to present to the Leadership Team (all administrators) next year. The District will be sending additional staff to Threat Assessment training provided by the county in the fall so that all key participants in the threat assessment process have consistent and appropriate training.
The Grand Jury found that gates were open and unmonitored. This does not comply with the Threat Assessment Training.
Related Recommendations (1)
- The Grand Jury recommends that each school building be easily identified from the air and street. Each school district should consider incorporating the use of volunteers who will act as school safety agents and be so identified with unique vests properly identifying persons as a school safety agent. Such vests should be uniform throughout the county. Agree and Disagree - There are two distinct recommendations presented here. The District has already had the names of the buildings painted in 4-foot high letters on the roofs of all buildings to allow them to be easily identified from the air. This summer a plan is being made that will ensure that each building is also identified from the ground as this is not currently the case at all schools. We prefer to hire our own campus supervisors and provide them with training rather than rely on a volunteer program and place student safety in their hands. Uniform vests have already been provided to all campus supervisors, custodians, maintenance personnel, technology staff, etc., which they are required to wear when on any school campus. 3 . 1.1
