Board on Track Renewal
R. Coy suggested that for this price we should take advantage of more offerings from Board on Track moving forward. It was suggested that other options be looked into before renewing the contract. This will need to be voted on before July 1.
E.
Tsunami Warning Response Plan
K. Morgan discussed the current tsunami response plan, which includes walking all students across the highway. However, in doing more research, TRCS is actually not in the tsunami danger zone. K. Morgan has discussed with staff and proposes that the tsunami response be changed to be more similar to an on-site evacuation. This will reduce confusion with staff, students and parents. There can still be an off-site evacuation procedure in case that is necessary, but as a standard protocol a tsunami evacuation does not need to include leaving the school site. The board agrees that this is a good idea and are in agreement that K. Morgan can make this change and communicate it to staff and parents.
Student Council president was not able to be present, report is attached to the agenda.
