font-family:Arial'>The Safety Committee at Berkeley High is recruiting new
members to join us for next year. If you'd like to join or consider joining
the committee, you must attend the mandatory orientation session at 4:30 pm in
H104 on Tuesday, September 13. At the orientation you will hear in more detail
about the work that we do and be able to ask your questions. Then, if you
decide to join the 2011-2012 Safety Committee, plan to attend our first meeting
on Tuesday, September 20, at 4:30. We meet in the late afternoon on the 1st
and 3rd Tuesdays of the month at 4:30 in H104 (ground floor of the H building
in the On Campus Intervention office). <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The Safety Committee's task is to review information about
the school in areas that affect student safety and well-being, such as disaster
preparedness, anti-bullying and anti-weapons efforts, classroom discipline,
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. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

school's Safety Plan for 2011-2012, the committee's bylaws, and the names and
email addresses of the 2010-2011 members. We encourage you to contact us with
any questions you may have about joining or the work that we do.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
