Meeting Minutes
From Central Office:
There has been concern raised by staff and students regarding how we respond to questions about safety drills, particularly with the increased number of tragedies from gun violence. The state requires that every school hold a number of lockdown drills during the school year.
CABE reached out to the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence for guidance as to how we can answer the questions to parents and how teachers should respond to students unsettled by the safety drills that districts conduct to prepare them for real emergencies. The Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence (Dr.Mark Brackett) provided information to be shared with CABE members. The CT Department of Education and Commissioner Miguel Cardona supports the use of this resource.
