Green Cove Springs, Florida
Agenda Item #41
Item Title
C-14 (Bolla) Contract between School Board of Clay County and Keys to Safer Schools.com to provide training on "Assessing the Potentially Dangerous Student"
Issue/Rationale
In trying to identify the "Potentially Dangerous Student" (PDS), it does not work to focus on a single facet but to look at the whole student. The heart of the program involves a simplified list of observable traits and characteristics gleaned from the multitudes of well-researched national reports. Identified school personnel will be trained to record and rate these observable characteristics using a proven method. With all the new administrators and school personnel, the district is in need of updated training.
Recommended Action
Approve Contract between School Board of Clay County and Keys to Safer Schools.com to provide training on "Assessing the Potentially Dangerous Student" as submitted.
Financial Impact
To be funded by Safe Schools funds.
