The community is invited to AUSD’s virtual School Safety Town Hall on Thursday, August 8. Families, students and staff members are encouraged to log on to be better informed about how the district partners with Alhambra and Monterey Park Police Departments to keep our students and staff members safe. As students and parents prepare for the upcoming school year, the Town Hall aims to share important safety information and highlight the strong partnership between local law enforcement agencies and the district.
Lindsey Ma, assistant superintendent of Student Support Services, reiterates the district’s commitment to ensuring a safe learning environment for all students and staff. “Education is our mission, but safety is our priority,” emphasizes Ma. “We work tirelessly with our local law enforcement partners to implement robust safety protocols and emergency response plans.”
Over the years, AUSD has adopted multiple security measures, including regular safety drills, enhanced surveillance systems, increased security staff, and the presence of school resource officers on campus. Panelists will go into further details of AUSD’s preparation and also discuss the importance of community vigilance and the role of students, parents, and staff members in maintaining a secure school environment.
This joint Town Hall will spotlight the strong partnership between AUSD and our local law enforcement. The collaboration between agencies is crucial to maintaining a safe educational space where students can focus on learning without fear. Emphasis will also be placed on safety as a collective community responsibility. AUSD relies on open communication and mutual support to address concerns promptly and effectively.
We encourage families to submit questions ahead of time, so responses and concerns can be incorporated into the presentation. Community voices will assist AUSD in providing clarification on various safety issues and preparation. Questions can be submitted through this form: tinyurl.com/QuestionsSafetyTH2024 through August 1.
Parents can also submit questions during the Town Hall (as time permits). Please mark your calendar and plan to join us on August 8 at 6:00pm using this Zoom link: zoom.us/j/94541118591.
