Her remarks were devastating, of course, but she is using her grief and loss to help schools prevent another tragedy. We also had more local presenters sharing about their experiences.&nbsp; Deputy Executive Dan Grimm and I participated in the Critical Decision-Making Seminar with other school, university, and public safety leaders.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And yesterday afternoon, I observed the active shooter exercise for first responders at Steilacoom High School.&nbsp; (I also was at the DEM-hosted exercise last December at Gig Harbor High School).&nbsp; These trainings are as realistic as possible, involving law enforcement and fire professionals from across the County and volunteers acting as victims.&nbsp; Candidly, they are difficult to watch &#8211; depicting the worst nightmare for a community.&nbsp; But we know seconds can make the difference between life and death.&nbsp; So, our first responder teams train hard &#8211; to ensure they respond both quickly and effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In many cases, school staff are the true \u201cfirst responders.\u201d&nbsp; We learned about an incident in Lacey where a teacher and the principal physically intervened before anyone got hurt.&nbsp; In other incidents, the custodians were there to protect their students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was particularly thankful that we had Summit participants not only from our K12 school districts, but also from our private schools, community and technical colleges, and local universities.&nbsp; We know that preparation includes testing scenarios, but also establishing relationships and understanding that we all come together in the face of a tragedy at any school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I particularly appreciate our DEM team for hosting the Summit.&nbsp; Director Jody Ferguson and Deputy Director Amy Gillespie were the vision behind this critical work.&nbsp; Putting on the Summit took the concerted effort of many of the Emergency Management team and John Holdsworth was at the point!&nbsp; Thank you, John, and all the DEM staff, for bringing our community together around keeping our students safe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a great weekend &#8211; school starts soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"79\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.piercecountywa.gov\/executive\/files\/2022\/02\/Bruce-blue-signature-small-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3352\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Bruce<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With our typical glorious August weather, I like many of you are looking forward to a few days away from work &#8211; to rest and relax!&nbsp; But I am reminded that many in our community are ramping up to a new school year.&nbsp; Educating our children and young adults is one of the most important [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":59,"featured_media":4156,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.2 -
