# City Council Joint Meeting with the SVVSD Board of Education - 21 October 2026

The October 21, 2026 joint meeting of the City of Longmont City Council and St. Vrain Valley School District (SVVSD) Board of Education focused on student safety, youth mental health, school-community partnerships, housing, and child care. On safe routes to school, participants discussed persistent crossing-guard hiring shortages and the city-district cost-sharing arrangement, along with possible measures such as HAWK signals, raised crossings, speed enforcement, and traffic calming. City staff said they would follow up with traffic staff about locations and enforcement needs; no new project or purchase was approved. The discussion also covered the SCORE school co-responder program, which the district has funded, with mention of clinician and school resource officer support, and a pilot using restroom vape sensors described as effective but relatively expensive. No contract awards, RFPs, or bid approvals were identified.
