School Safety Summit Brings Together Police and School Staff
Held Monday, July 25, at Walter Johnson High School, the event brought principals, central administrators, local police and sheriff department representatives, and the Community Engagement Officer teams together for an in-person collaborative training on the updated Memorandum of Understanding with police partners, 911 training, a new non-emergency number and more.
New Online Payment System Available for School-Related Fees
SchoolCash Online helps parents and guardians pay school-related fees—such as field trip costs—safely, quickly and easily. This new system puts school-related fees online so payments can be made using a credit card or e-check, increasing efficiency and security by making payments directly into schools’ bank accounts and eliminating the need for teachers to handle money. Cash and check payments directly to schools will remain an option.
