Approval of Adoption of School Safety Transfers Policy
Mr. Emin Cavusoglu, Deputy Superintendent of Programs for Harmony Public Schools presents Approval of Adaption of School Safety Transfer Policy. Mr. Cavusoglu reviews the School Safety Transfer Policy that was previously shared with board members. He informs the board a parent of a student who becomes a victim of a violent criminal offense who is assigned to a campus assigned by the TEA (Texas Education Agency) as persistently dangerous shall be offered an opportunity to transfer to a public or charter school within Harmony Public Schools. Mr. Cavusoglu informs the board that Harmony does not have any schools listed by the TEA as persistently dangerous. Even though we do not have any Harmony Schools listed as persistently dangerous by the TEA we are required to have a policy in place in the event that it occurs in the future. Finally, Mr. Cavusoglu reviews Transfers for Victims of Violent Criminal Offenses requirements and reporting obligations from schools listed as persistently dangerous.
