Commissioners approve school safety-team resolution requested by OPI

County staff presented a draft resolution establishing a school safety team in response to guidance from the Office of Public Instruction (OPI). The staff presenter said the resolution mirrors language OPI requested and referenced applicable MCA language for child protection and interagency teams.

A staff member explained the team would include superintendents, the county commissioner, sheriff and county attorney and other partners; the presenter said the draft would be formatted into the county's resolution template. A commissioner moved to approve "school safety team resolution number 37," the motion was seconded, and the board approved it by voice vote.

Staff said they would scan and format the resolution and file it with the appropriate state office as requested by OPI. The transcript shows the county intends to treat the school safety team as a structured, recurring interagency meeting rather than an ad hoc group.
