distance learning labs for students. The downstairs is set to be complete for the 2020-2021 <br /> school year. <br /> School Safety Update <br /> Mr. Crane provided an update on school safety topics. ALICE training has been provided to <br /> teachers for many years. In September 2018 the Board held a community meeting to discuss <br /> providing ALICE training to the students for the first time. Three separate training curricula <br /> were developed for elementary, middle, and high school students. With the exception of <br /> Roosevelt and Emerson which will be completed this week, all schools have now received <br /> the training. All trainings have gone very well. <br /> Mr. Crane discussed efforts to improve and add security cameras on school properties. <br /> Cameras will now be integrated with the Lakewood Police Department and can be directly <br /> viewed by LPD. <br /> Mr. Crane also mentioned that LHS and Hayes elementary were being used during spring <br /> break for training by LFD, LPD, and the FBI. He noted that students are utilizing an <br /> anonymous app to report safety issues and that parents are using a 24 hour hotline to do the <br /> same. <br /> Council and the Board discussed the importance of keeping students current on their ALICE <br /> training as they move through the grades so that they have received the most age-appropriate <br /> curriculum. <br /> Community Recreation & Education Department Update <br /> Superintendent Barnes reported that annual and monthly memberships at the rec center have <br /> increased from last year. The facility was accepted as Silver Sneaker facility in March. He <br /> expressed confidence in the quality of programming for youth and adults. He provided <br /> statistics on the number of pool visitors (58,000), staff(130) and staff hours (2,400). He <br /> noted that pool admission fees have not increased since 2009. <br /> Council President O'Leary remarked that Council acted last week on the Board's proposal to <br /> increase pool admission fees. The proposed changes to the family pass were adopted but <br /> Council chose to retain the other fees as-is. He stated that Council expressed a desire to have <br /> a more robust discussion on admission rates before making additional changes. <br /> Leslie Favre Krogman provided information about the week-long lifeguard training provided <br /> by the Rec Department each year and the material covered in the training. She reported that <br /> lifeguard wages are low compared to other communities and the Metroparks and start at <br /> $11/hour. She reported that the pools are now fully staffed with guards, managers, attendants, <br /> and swim instructors for the 2019 season. In response to a Councilmember's question, Ms. <br /> Krogman stated that the City's pool admission rates are relatively low. Any request for an <br /> increase would likely not be followed by another request within five years. <br /> 2 <br />
