School Safety Citizens Advisory Committee

 

Update June 28, 2024

 

Update October 26, 2023

 

Background

On September 28, 2023, the Olympia School Board approved a charter calling for the creation of a School Safety Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC). The committee is projected to begin meeting in October 2023. Its purpose is two-fold:

 

  • To assist the superintendent in crafting procedures to accompany Policy 4311 that will guide and inform any formal partnership with the school district and the City of Olympia.

  • To assist the superintendent in crafting a draft Memorandum of Understanding to serve as the springboard for any negotiation between the district and the City of Olympia for any future school/external staff.

 

As outlined in the committee charter, the procedures will include an emphasis on a holistic approach, including consultation, multi-tiered support systems, crisis response unit members, and any other external staff including uniformed officers.
