The Weston County School District #1 Board of Trustees meeting on June 11, 2025, spotlighted a crucial discussion on school safety training, emphasizing the district's commitment to protecting students and staff. A key point raised was the importance of the Brad Lacroix training program, which has been recommended for staff to enhance safety protocols.

During the meeting, board members highlighted that while the training is a proactive measure, accountability remains with the district. If incidents occur, the district could still face scrutiny, even if staff have completed the recommended training. This underscores the ongoing concern that schools must not be seen as "soft targets" in today's climate.

The conversation reflects a broader legislative intent to ensure that educational institutions prioritize safety and are prepared for potential threats. As the district moves forward, the emphasis on rigorous training and accountability is expected to shape future safety policies and practices. The board's commitment to these measures signals a proactive approach to safeguarding the school community.
