I was invited last week to serve as one of three 'faith leaders' on Clear Creek ISD's School Safety Committee. Composed of a parents, staff, students, security and mental health professionals, and faith leaders, the committee's task is to advise the board of trustees on what new measures to implement to enhance school safety for the CCISD's 42,000 students and 5,000 staff members.
We already got to work this past Tuesday and I'm eager to have the opportunity, as a representative of the Jewish community and the larger faith-based community, to hopefully advise changes not only in physical security but in areas that can enhance emotional and spiritual health as well.
If you have thoughts and ideas that you feel can be helpful in this area, feel free to email me here and I will be sure to include it in the discussions.
