Progress Report on Student Safety & Well Being Committee

The MISD Communications held a Progress Report meeting on April 25, 2026, focused on the Student Safety & Well Being Committee's efforts to prevent sexual assaults and improve safety culture within the school district. The committee, comprising students, staff, parents, administrators, community members, and regional partners, has met multiple times and is organized into four priority subcommittees: students, professional boundaries, reporting and follow-up, and learning and training. Key initiatives include a student safety survey, development of educational videos on grooming and boundary awareness, updates to district policies on professional boundaries including online communication restrictions, and improvements to reporting mechanisms such as the "See Something, Say Something" app. The committee is also collaborating with Presidium, a third-party organization, to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of policies and practices, with findings and recommendations expected to guide future action plans. While the meeting focused heavily on policy and educational efforts, no specific procurement or contract awards were discussed.
