The Safety Committee at Berkeley High is recruiting new members to join us for next year.   If you think you might be interested, you are welcome to come listen to our final meeting for this academic year, to get a sense of what we do.   We meet in late afternoon on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month.   Our final meeting for this year will be this coming Tuesday, June 7, at 4:30 in H104 (ground floor of the H building in the On Campus Intervention office).


The Safety Committee's task is to review information about the school in areas that affect student safety and well-being in a large sense, including such examples as disaster preparedness, anti-bullying and anti-weapons efforts, classroom discipline, truancy, landscaping and maintenance, and alcohol and drug use.   Based on that information, the committee generates goals and strategies to improve the school in the committee's focus areas and it also oversees implementation of the goals and strategies generated by the prior year's committee.   The committee's work is compiled with the rest of the school's Safety Plan, which is submitted annually to the School Site Council for review and approval and then goes to the School Board.    

At the BHS PTSA website, under the Safety Committee tab on the left margin, you can find the minutes from this year, the school's Safety Plan for next year, the committee's bylaws, and the names and email addresses of the current members.

Teachers, administrators, students, parents and other certificated and classified staff all serve critical roles on the committee and representatives of each group are very welcome.   The more fully the committee reflects the community it serves, the more useful the range of experiences it can bring to bear on solving problems.      Through subcommittee work, members have the opportunity to focus their energies on the issues of greatest concern to them as individuals and to make the most immediate difference.   

People wishing to join the committee will attend an orientation session during the second week of September.   The 2011-2012 Safety Committee will have its first meeting on Tuesday, September 20, at 4:30.
