9. NEW ESU Chief Administrators
Speaker(s):
Executive Director Ludwig
Agenda Item Type:
Information Item
Discussion:
Where do file compliance report in the media? Wherever ESUs say their press release and post there. Updating security and safety plan, attend a Standard Response Protocol process so that you will be speaking the same language. LPS has creating a SRP section on their website using the School Guys. There is a fifth action "hold" students in classroom. Possibility to have ESUs meet to discuss their process and work through process together. Can we put our blurbs for conference, hotels, etc on registrations, this is not a good procedure. SIMPL program of services need to be in by December? Only if this process pertains to your plan. Drop box for keys - most have employees go into building to return keys, etc. Marketing - monthly newsletters, create public relations committee, go out to in-service, send information out to school districts specifically about programs, ESU shorts - graphic that has three or four items in each/bright color, send to schools and media. Talking points - send out to schools right away. This is a two way communication for NDE and ESUCC.
