3.1 School Safety update

We are awaiting to do an active shooter drill. We will continue with our own drills in the
mean time. If it is too upsetting then written instructions can be given to students.
Hopefully information will be sent out before Winter Break. Specific funds will be allocated
to WCTA. Someone may be able to represent us at a school board meeting in the future.
3.2 Traffic update

School Police has been asked to assist in the parking lot. Cars are parking in the red
zones. School Police are reluctant to write tickets if their position is school-based.

Engineers and contractors are working on the flashing lights on Charleston. Hopefully it
can be done by January. More enforcement is needed in the mean time. The flashers are
on from 6:30-7 a.m. and 1:25-1:55 p.m.

Ms. Compton was our number one choice and was confirmed on November 4. She will
be given some additional training on student behavior.

5.0 Principals Report

5.1 School Safety

Long term sub situation - Stephenson will return around December 11.
Ms. Shui is trying to stay until Winter Break. AP Biology must be taught by a board
certified instructor. Mr. Herrera will take over the AP Biology classes. Biology honors
classes will be given to the long term sub.
Ms. Compton’s replacement may be in-district. We want to interview if possible. The long
term sub now has a business background.
Our clerk position will be open again which is 9 month, 7 hours. Interviews will be taking
place soon.
The website is being updated to have staff emails more accessible. The email address is
not listed it is now just a form to send an email to staff. It will be corrected to list the email
addresses.
People Soft is coming in January to help with payroll, subs, extra pay, etc. We currently
have at least three systems in place. It is a more universal system.
