Safety Plans - Immigration Section
The immigration section of your safety plan has been updated as a result of the Senate Bills that were recently passed. This ties in with the information Jessica Hull has previously shared at leadership. Please review the information and share with your SSC and/or safety team (whoever reviewed/approved the plan).

Site Safety
Mid-year is a great time to review the site safety information and make sure your staff is aligned. Some things to consider:
- Does your staff understand the site plan for on-site reunification?
- Does your staff know what to do in a drill if Raptor is down and you still need to account for kids?
- Middle School - Do your students need a refresher on STOPit?
- Daily site safety - doors locked? Ingress points monitored? Perimeter gates shut and locked during the school day?
Please also remember when completing a BTAM screener or full assessment, loop in me and your coach. This step is important for involving law enforcement as part of our BTAM team.

Many classified employees had evaluations due over the winter break, primarily those who started in their positions in August. Please continue to check the Evaluation Tracker to see which deadlines are coming up or overdue.
