Safety Task Force
In November, NPS Superintendent Dr. Estrella formed a Districtwide Safety and Security Task Force to review and make recommendations to the Board of Ed. The NPS Safety and Security Task Force will play a critical role in helping to update and develop our plans, which will be presented to the Board of Education in early spring. The task force’s work will include proposing revisions to the current NPS Code of Conduct and other policies, as well as recommending improvements to practices that keep students and staff safe.
Members of the task force represent a variety of key stakeholders, both internal and external. The group met in person beginning December 1, and will continue meeting twice a month through the spring. A full list of task force members is available below.
