School administrators receive emergency operations training prior to the first day of school
More than 50 school emergency response team members and administrators from the Carson City School District received training for the school district's Emergency Operations Plan Thursday, Aug. 10, at Carson Middle School.
The safety training addressed the district’s updated emergency response plan, which includes natural, man-made and technological threats and hazards. It also covered procedures for suicide prevention and intervention as required by the newly passed Senate Bill 212 that expands the Safe to Tell program.
The training was facilitated by the district Risk Manager Ann Cyr. School emergency response teams were comprised of principals, vice principals, deans of students, school counselors, nurses, building maintenance and transportation personnel.
School Social Worker Program Manager Dave Calairo and Safe School Professional Kelly Edmundson provided the training on the new procedures for suicide prevention. Additionally, School Safety Operations Manager Jeff Kaye led the group through two table top exercises addressing hazardous materials and school violence.
