Sparta Area Schools Emergency and Safety Plans, Protocols and Procedures

Each day our school district is entrusted to provide a safe, caring and orderly learning environment for over 2,600 students.   The welfare and safety of our students and staff is top priority in Sparta Area Schools.   We recognize schools play a significant role in taking proactive measures to prevent school safety incidents, and/ or reducing the impact of emergencies within our educational community.   Therefore, we believe it is valuable for all members of our school community to know that our school system has well-crafted emergency and safety management plans which are specifically designed to keep students and staff safe from threats and hazards.

Our district plans are based on current principles of emergency management for schools. Our emergency and safety response protocols and procedures are continually refined and updated in collaboration with local, state and federal school emergency management authorities.   The responsibility for emergency and safety planning primarily comes from District Administration and the District Core Crisis Team under the direction and governance of State, Federal and County agencies, related laws, and the local Board of Education Policies and Administrative Guidelines.

Below are highlights of Sparta Area School’s Emergency and Safety Response Plans.

School Safety Response Guides:   a flipbook located in every classroom that contains recommended safety protocols during school emergency situations in a school setting.  

Classroom Safety Folders:   a designated folder in every classroom that contains general and individual classroom information, and basic materials and resources used in school safety and emergency incidents.  

Evacuation Maps: individualized evacuation maps which are located in every classroom.

School Safety / Welfare pages on the District website:

a.        Nurse’s Corner:   contains guidance and useful information regarding individual health and wellness , state immunization requirements, and an overview of the district’s Reproductive Health program.

b.       District School Safety:   contains information about our district’s emergency and safety management plans, and helpful safety and wellness resources for parents and families.   

Off-Site School Safety Portal: allows designated personnel off-site access to current student and school information/records.  

School Site Surveys:   A series of documents on file with the Kent County Office of Emergency Management that provide local, county and state law and health official’s access to important contact and school site information for emergency management.

Cardiac Emergency Response Plan:   written protocol s for cardiac emergencies located in the Nurse Offices and AED Cabinets in each building.

District-wide Professional Development:    initial and/or annual school safety and emergency professional training for all SAS personnel.   Examples include Bloodborne Pathogens, Bullying, Concussions, Confidentiality (HIPPA/FERPA), and MIOSHA Hazardous Material Management.

58 Tips to Improve School Safety

With school shootings increasing, and one in five children experiencing bullying, the need for safer schools has never been more obvious.

The School Safety Assessment found that the most common safety issues involve inadequate supervision of students, bullying and harassment, building access control and inadequate emergency communication.

Access control, communication, monitoring and surveillance, training and education, policies and procedures all work together to create a safe, cohesive environment. Overlooking even one of these areas could lead to a fatal incident.

Use this list of practical school safety tips to make sure you’re not forgetting a vital part of your safety and security efforts.

Jump to a Section:

Physical measures, procedures and processes, tools and software, school culture, education and training, maintain and update, make teams and roles, document and analyze, support and resolve, investigate and discipline, build relationships, learn and make changes, tips for portables, install security systems.

According to the Department of Justice , more than 98 per cent of schools have some kind of security technology to keep students safe.

An effective security system is made up of numerous tools such as intrusion detection, panic buttons, mechanical security hardware and adequate signage. These tools, while effective on their own, work best when implemented together.

Set Up Surveillance Cameras

Improve school safety by installing surveillance cameras both inside and outside the building.

Surveillance cameras offer you the chance to monitor staff, students and visitors as they enter or exit the building and walk the halls. And, as an added bonus, the mere presence of video cameras can deter bad behavior.

Hire Guards

Surveillance cameras aren’t always enough. Sometimes, depending on the location or the time of day, having a physical person stand guard will be more effective in maintaining safety than a video camera.

Use Metal Detectors

For some schools, metal detectors might be the best way to keep staff and students safe.

Metal detectors don’t have to be a permanent addition to your school, in fact, they’re often used as a temporary solution or a last resort. So, like all these tips, weigh the pros and cons.

Improve Lighting

Lighting is one of the most commonly overlooked safety features in a school. If there is a certain location more prone to slips, falls or violence, adding permanent or motion-sensing lights can be an effective solution.

Put Up Fences

Fences are simple, yet effective, in keeping young students safe. Fences limit the chances of a student wandering off, getting lost or being lured off of school grounds.

Appropriate fences will also help keep intruders off school property.

Gates add an extra layer of security without compromising the movement of students in and out of the school.

Keep gates locked during school and in the evening but open them during high-traffic times at the start and end of the school day.

Manage Visitors Effectively

A strong visitor authorization process will make sure that any visitor to the school is adequately identified, tracked and monitored. Allowing visitors to come and go as they please without any sort of tracking system can be dangerous for everyone in the school.

Fire Drill Procedure

To ensure the safety of your students, it’s important to have a comprehensive, well-known fire drill procedure.

For your procedure to be effective in keeping students safe, use designated alarm sounds to communicate that there is a fire. Have all teachers study the evacuation map so they know the correct exit route.

Disaster Drill Procedure

Natural disasters strike at any time, even when school is in session. Create a process that ensures the school is properly informed when there is a natural disaster watch.

Designate a natural disaster watch person who will monitor weather conditions in case it evolves into a warning. If it does, then it’s time to move students into safe areas.

Lockdown procedures are reserved for maintaining safety when there is an immediate threat to those in the school.

The procedure should explain how building occupants will be notified of a lockdown. Outline how to stay safe no matter the location. What should the student do if they’re in the bathroom, gym, cafeteria or hallway?

Create “Safety Folders”

Every classroom should have a safety folder.

This folder will contain general resources, such as school-wide safety procedures and basic first aid guidance. It should also contain individual classroom information, including directions to the nearest emergency exit.

A Central Reporting Mechanism

This year, implement a central reporting mechanism that anyone can use to submit a tip.

Your mechanism can be as formal as an online web form or as informal as an anonymous tip box. It’s the availability, not the method, that matters most.

Case Management Software

Case management software helps keep schools safe by reducing the time and effort required to investigate safety-related incidents.

The system stores all the data you enter in one place for cases including student and staff misconduct, slips and falls, bus accidents, suspicious visitors and more.

Download our eBook, Keeping K-12 Schools Safe , to learn why officials across the country have turned to case management software to make their schools safer.

Groups and Clubs

Create groups or clubs for students to join. Groups help students find like-minded peers with whom they can build a friendship and a connection. Students who feel involved are generally happier, more trusting and supportive, and less likely to engage in dangerous behavior.

In-Class Initiatives

Another way to keep schools safer is to promote and encourage safety in class.

Have teachers incorporate a lot of group work, games and bonding activities into the class schedule to help students build positive, trusting relationships with both their peers and with teachers.

In-School Initiatives

School-wide initiatives can be just as effective as in-class initiatives in promoting safety. Create posters explaining the new initiative or explain it on the morning announcements.

Create programs that combat the unique safety issues you’re having. For example, a “kids' breakfast club” will encourage bonding (and healthy eating), and a “see something, say something” strategy will fight against bullying.

After-School Programs

After-school programs are a great way to keep students, especially high-risk ones, busy and out of trouble.

The hours after school has ended and before parents get home from work are when a lot of disturbances seem to occur. So, if students are enrolled in after-school programs during this time, there is less opportunity for them to find trouble.

For Faculty and Staff

Teach the adults in your school the basics: the warning signs to look for, how to assess threats, how to report concerns to parents and how to defuse violent situations.

Faculty not sure how to discuss bullying with parents? Download the cheat sheet: The Busy Teacher's Guide to Talking to Parents About Bullying .

For Students

Educate students on the difference between snitching and reporting, how to report their concerns and the harm of being a bystander.

For Parents

Explain to parents how and when to speak with someone if they have concerns, suspicions or any information the school should know about.

Practice Drills

One of the best ways to educate staff and students on safety is to practice.

Conduct regular fire, lockdown and disaster drills throughout the year. Give those in the school a chance to practice the drill process without the extreme stress of a real threat.

Regularly Update School Policies

Frequently update school safety policies to reflect new technologies, new initiatives and new processes.

Provide Frequent Safety Training

Keep knowledge and procedures fresh for your staff and students with frequent training. The better staff knows the warning signs of violence, the greater the chance they'll intervene before it’s too late.

Assess Equipment Safety

Regularly assess the state of the school’s equipment to ensure everything is safe and in good working order.

Do safety checks on playground equipment, gym equipment, carbon monoxide alarms, fire alarms, door locks, heating and cooling systems and the kitchen appliances in the cafeteria.

Keep Safety Resources Stocked

Band-Aids and ice packs go missing all the time. Conduct monthly counts of first aid kits and ensure they’re fully stocked for when a safety incident does occur.

Threat Assessment Team

Create a threat assessment team who will be responsible for receiving concerns and assessing the risk.

Borrow this free  K-12 School Threat Assessment Template  for the team to use.

Investigation Team

Round up an Investigation Team. This team will investigate safety concerns, collect evidence and conduct interviews.

Support Team

Designate one or two school staff members to be the “support team”. They will be responsible for helping victims and witnesses find appropriate support services.

Risk Management Team

Create a risk management team who will take the lead on identifying and managing risks to staff and students and mitigating harm.

Education Team

Since knowledge is such an important part of promoting school safety, develop an education team who can take the lead on training. Their role will be to identify and fill gaps in awareness.

Track At-Risk Students

To keep your school safe, identify and monitor at-risk students. Offer support and redirection before the problem escalates.

Monitor Trends Within Your School

Use case management software to track trends within your school. If there’s been a rise in the number of falls outside of Building B, add more lighting or signage to “watch your step”.

Prepare for Trends Across Schools

Also, use case management software to track trends across your school district. If most of the schools are experiencing a new problem with cyberbullying, you can be fairly sure your school is next. Get ahead of the issue and keep students safe by tracking trends across the district.

Keep an “Allergy List”

Another frequently overlooked safety strategy deals with allergies. Document and maintain staff and student allergies on a list easily accessible throughout the building.

While an allergy list can help staff proactively avoid an incident, prepare for the worst as well. Keep allergy medication, such as antihistamines and EpiPens, widely available (to adults).

Provide Support Services

To improve school safety, and to prevent future incidents, it’s important to support victims who come forward. If a student is injured on the playground and comes to a teacher for support but receives little response, the student will be unlikely to seek out help again.

Ensure that students feel comfortable coming forward and receive the support they expect by offering exceptional support services.

Offer Conflict Resolution

Offering informal conflict resolution options can stop violent issues from escalating and prevent further conflict from developing.

The five most common resolution strategies include: accommodating, avoiding, compromising, collaborating and competing.

For more information about conflict resolution strategies, download the cheat sheet: Conflict Resolution Cheat Sheet .

Counsel At-Risk Individuals

Another type of support that can improve school safety is counseling at-risk students or faculty.

In the past decade, most students who committed fatal school attacks:

  • Were badly bullied by others
  • Had a history of disciplinary trouble
  • Behaved in a way that concerned others

Create an individualized plan and provide more guidance for those who exhibit warning signs. By providing resources or additional monitoring, you can reduce the risk this person will engage in violence against others or themselves.

For more detailed tips about investigating safety incidents effectively, visit our guide: Conducting School Investigations: Step-by-Step .

Respond Quickly

Acknowledge reports and begin to investigate immediately.

Pick the Right Investigator

Depending on the incident or complaint, you may need to bring in a third-party investigator or someone detached from the situation.

Document Everything

Track and document everything, from the first tip to the final report.

Collect Evidence

Collect physical and digital evidence right away, before the scene is disturbed (or deleted).

Conduct Interviews

Interview the victim, perpetrator (if possible) and witnesses.

Discipline Appropriately

Make sure the repercussions fit the crime.

Ensure that the problem has been resolved and there is no need for further action.

With Neighboring Families

Experts recommend using a “ community systems approach ” to keep schools safe. Those who live in the community around the school may have information on student behaviors or actions that will help to identify risks, threats and dangers to school safety.

With Neighboring Businesses

Build a relationship with the businesses around your school so they know of your safety efforts. Having a partnership means business owners will be more likely to reach out if they overhear a concerning discussion between students over lunch.

With the Local Police

Promote safety by building a relationship with local law enforcement and encouraging their presence in the school. Ask the sheriff to come in and speak to students about bus safety. Or, ask that an officer help with chaperoning events.

With Youth Services

Schools are better able to support their students when they know the youth services and resources that are available. Build a partnership with nearby youth programs to create a safer, more supportive environment at your school.

Acknowledge Mistakes

School safety is an ever-changing process. There will always be new students, new faculty and new situations. That’s why it’s important to set time aside after every incident (or every couple of months) to reflect and learn from mistakes that were made.

It’s one thing to acknowledge that there were a lot of issues with substance use at the school dance over the holidays. It’s another to acknowledge the lack of security was a mistake.

Carry Out Changes

Once you’ve acknowledged the school’s safety mistake, it’s just as important to brainstorm changes to fix the issue and carry them out. Don’t let fixes fall between the cracks.

Without making any changes you’ll only repeat the same mistake, and next time there might be an injury or a lawsuit involved for your negligence.

Evaluate Changes

If you’ve made changes, don’t just forget about it and hope for the best. Track the situation to make sure that your fix is working and not making the problem worse.

For example, say you hired additional security guards for the spring formal dance to combat the drinking that occurs. How many reports of substance use were made this time? How does that compare to the winter dance when you realized there was an issue? Did the presence of security guards drive complacency among the supervising school staff and result in higher incidences of substance use?

Structural Protection

Portable classrooms are often a last-minute, temporary addition to rapidly growing schools. Because of the nature of their job, portables require special attention to keep them safe.

Make sure to only purchase portables with good structural integrity and that comply with local building codes. Should a safety incident occur, such as a lockdown or natural disaster, it’s vital that the safety of those in the portable is prioritized the same as the safety of those in the main building.

Access and Functional Needs

Safety teams often neglect to check emergency and secondary exits for portables because of their size and the fact that they are separate from the main school building. Make sure that your portables have adequate emergency exits that meet accessibility requirements.

Drills and Response

Portables, even temporary ones, require emergency operations plans. These plans must be just as detailed as those made for classrooms in the main school building. Make sure portables are labeled (even simply “Portable 1” and “Portable 2”).

Since portables don’t offer sufficient protection from severe weather, Texas School Safety Center recommends putting provisions in place to move students into a safer area within a permanent structure.

Strong Communication

Make sure students and staff in portables are just as safe as those in the main area by providing strong communications between buildings. Periodically test telephones and PA systems to make sure they will work in an emergency.

Schools and school districts that plan, document and communicate safety measures are better prepared and protected when emergencies arise.

‘You can’t teach dead kids’: Parkland parents urge Utah lawmakers to pass school safety legislation

The call to action came as a utah official revealed that authorities intervened in three recent cases that could have led to school shootings..

(Chris Samuels | The Salt Lake Tribune) Max Schachter, a parent of a child who was killed during a school shooting in Parkland, Fla., gives remarks during a school safety task force news conference at the Capitol in Salt Lake City, Tuesday, Feb. 20, 2024.

Three times this academic year, Utah authorities were able to intervene in “significant” cases that public safety officials believe could have led to school shootings if the potential perpetrators hadn’t been stopped.

The most recent case was thwarted in late January, Utah Department of Public Safety commissioner Jess Anderson said during a news conference Tuesday. He released no further details about the cases, citing their ongoing investigations.

“Every one of these, we were able to track down based on somebody who saw something and said something,” he said.

The reveal came as Anderson on Tuesday joined Utah legislators, state security officials, and two Parkland, Florida, parents whose children were killed in the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting to urge lawmakers to support legislation that they say could strengthen school safety measures across the state.

(Chris Samuels | The Salt Lake Tribune) Commissioner of the Utah Department of Public Safety Jess Anderson gives remarks during a school safety news conference at the Capitol in Salt Lake City, Tuesday, Feb. 20, 2024.

That legislation includes bills like HB84 , from Rep. Ryan Wilcox, R-Ogden , a proposal that would allow a designated school employee — or a “school guardian” — to be armed and trained to respond in emergency situations.

The bill would also require local education agencies, such as school districts, to provide each classroom with a panic button designed to immediately contact first responders when pressed.

The panic-button system in particular is dubbed “Alyssa’s Law” and is being pushed by Lori Alhadeff, the mother of Alyssa Alhadeff, a 14-year-old student killed in the Parkland school shooting.

“Alyssa was the heartbeat of our family,” Alhadeff said at the Salt Lake City news conference. “My husband and I — we turned our pain and grief into action.”

Legislation inspired by lawmakers’ trip to Parkland

(Chris Samuels | The Salt Lake Tribune) Max Schachter, right, a parent of a child who was killed during a school shooting in Parkland, Fla., puts an arm around Rep. Ryan Wilcox, R-Ogden, during a school safety task force news conference at the Capitol in Salt Lake City, Tuesday, Feb. 20, 2024.

In October, a group of Utah lawmakers and other school safety leaders traveled to Florida to tour the site of the Parkland school shooting. The visit centered on the perceived shortfalls of law enforcement and school leadership that may have led to the deaths of 14 students and three staff members .

Wilcox shared at a Utah School Security Task Force meeting later that month that he was “wholly unprepared” for what he saw on the tour, including blood stains in hallways and shoes left in classrooms, because the building, which is slated for demolition this summer , had been left mostly untouched since the 2018 tragedy.

That experience brought Wilcox to sponsor his “School Safety Amendments” bill, HB84.

“I wish this wasn’t why we were talking; I can’t believe this is my assignment at this point,” Wilcox said Tuesday. “We’ve gotten lucky so far, and I don’t know how long we can [be lucky].”

Max Schachter, the father of Marjory Stoneman Douglas student Alex Schachter, who was also killed in the shooting, urged lawmakers on Tuesday to take school safety seriously, even if the state hasn’t experienced what his family has endured.

“If kids don’t feel safe, they can’t learn,” Schachter said. “And you can’t teach dead kids.”

‘We’ve learned a lot since then’

(Chris Samuels | The Salt Lake Tribune) State superintendent Sydnee Dickson gives remarks during a school safety task force news conference at the Capitol in Salt Lake City, Tuesday, Feb. 20, 2024.

Utah State Superintendent of Public Education Sydnee Dickson said Tuesday that she spoke with Utah students shortly after the Parkland shooting who told her that, when they walk into rooms, “they look for the safest place in the room.”

“We’ve learned a lot since then; unfortunately we’ve learned it through tragedy,” Dickson said.

She said she’s appreciative of Wilcox’s and the School Safety Task Force’s work, along with other initiatives, including a 2019 bill that created the Utah State Board of Education’s School Safety Center , where staff from several agencies work together to create school safety resources and training.

“By looking at this instead of one answer to how to prevent a problem, and how to intervene in a problem — we’re looking at a comprehensive solution,” she said.

According to Utah’s latest Student Health and Risk Prevention survey, which was administered statewide last year, around 41% of students statewide who participated are concerned about gun violence or active shooter situations in schools.

In addition to the three cases Anderson mentioned Tuesday, Anderson noted that since August, there have been more than 121 documented “violent threats” in Utah schools, as well as over 60 lockdowns initiated across the state.

Other legislation geared toward school safety this session includes HB119 , from Rep. Tim Jimenez, R-Tooele , which would reimburse teachers up to $500 to install biometric gun safes in their classrooms .

Wilcox has also proposed a bill, HB14 , that would make it a second-degree felony — punishable up to 15 years in prison and up to $10,000 in fines — for those who call in hoax threats to campuses, as well as suspend or expel any students who may do so.

“We in Utah are committed to doing better, and being better, to be able to make sure we have a safe environment,” Anderson said.

‘We have to get this one right,’ lawmaker says of Utah school safety bill

Bill would require every public, charter and private school to have at least one armed security personnel at the school whenever class is in session.

Lori Alhadeff, mother of Parkland, Florida, school shooting victim Alyssa Alhadeff, speaks at a press conference.

Lori Alhadeff, founder of Make our Schools Safe and mother of Parkland, Florida, school shooting victim Alyssa Alhadeff, speaks at a press conference held to discuss the School Security Task Force at the Utah Capitol in Salt Lake City on Tuesday, Feb. 20, 2024. Rep. Ryan Wilcox, R-Ogden, was joined by lawmakers, law enforcement officials, experts, parents and others to discuss the task force and related legislation.

Megan Nielsen, Deseret News

When Max Schachter and his family moved to Parkland, Florida, it was rated as the safest city in the state. When he sent his son Alex to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb. 14, 2018, he assumed Alex would come home safe like he had every other day.

Tragically, that was not the case.

Alex Schachter died in a shooting that took the lives of 16 other students and staff in the school.

"After that day, I changed my life and I dedicated my mission to making sure that this never happens again," Schachter said.

Schachter on Tuesday joined a contingent of Utah lawmakers, state officials and other parents pushing for school safety reform who spoke in support of HB84 , school safety legislation sponsored by Rep. Ryan Wilcox, R-Ogden, that would establish a statewide system for school safety incidents.

Wilcox also serves as the chairman of the School Security Taskforce, established by the Utah Legislature following a school shooting hoax that swept across the Beehive State in March 2023.

Included in the umbrella bill would be the creation of a school guardian program requiring every public, charter and private school to have at least one armed security personnel at the school whenever class is in session. This could include a uniformed school resource officer, a school safety and security officer provided by local law enforcement and hired by the school district, or a contracted security guard who would be allowed to conceal or open carry a firearm on school grounds.

It could also include school employees.

The guardians would train twice a year inside of the school, and the county sheriff would oversee their duties, Wilcox said in February. Guardians would undergo mental health evaluations and deescalation training. Their training would also include firearms proficiency.

Utah County Sheriff Mike Smith, center, becomes emotional as Rep. Ryan Wilcox, R-Ogden, speaks at a press conference held to discuss the School Security Task Force at the Utah Capitol in Salt Lake City on Tuesday, Feb. 20, 2024. Wilcox was joined by lawmakers, law enforcement officials, experts, parents and others to discuss the task force and related legislation.

The bill would also establish minimum safety procedures for schools, such as panic buttons and better communication systems, and require reporting by state employees and others if they become aware of threats to schools.

Additionally, it establishes the duties of the state security chief and requires them to develop training for school resource officers. It also calls for some reporting from the SafeUT Crisis Line to the state’s intelligence databases and requires certain school safety data to be included in the state’s annual school disciplinary report.

Jess Anderson, commissioner of the Utah Department of Public Safety, said during the 2023-24 school year alone, the department has been made aware of "well over" 121 violent school threats, and schools throughout the state have had over 60 lockdowns. He added the department has seen "three significant cases" in which it has intervened to stop a school shooting this year.

"I wish this wasn't why we were talking. I can't believe this is my assignment at this point," Wilcox said, emotionally. "We have to get this one (school safety) right. We've gotten lucky so far. I don't know how long we can. Please help us to prioritize this, please talk to your schools, please talk to your administrators (and) please encourage them to support the legislation because there isn't anything else that matters if we get this one wrong."

Last year, the Utah Legislature passed HB61 which, among other measures, created the position of state security chief — who is responsible for state-level oversight of school safety and security issues. In January, the Utah Department of Public Safety announced that Matt Pennington would fill the newly created position.

merlin_3021260.jpg

Max Schachter, who is founder of Safe Schools for Alex and father of Parkland, Florida, school shooting victim Alex Schachter, speaks at a press conference held to discuss the School Security Task Force at the Utah Capitol in Salt Lake City on Tuesday, Feb. 20, 2024. Rep. Ryan Wilcox, R-Ogden, was joined by lawmakers, law enforcement officials, experts, parents and others to discuss the task force and related legislation.

"The partnership with county sheriffs, local law enforcement, education (and) even mental health is what's going to get this done but it doesn't stop there," Pennington said. "We're training our children, we're trying to keep our children safe and that even goes home to all of you as parents and siblings. The conversation has to continue from home, through school, to later in life in order to get this all done."

Like Schachter, Lori Alhadeff lost her daughter, Alyssa Alhadeff, in the Parkland shooting. Since then, Alhadeff has founded the Make Our Schools Safe nonprofit and champions school safety reform around the country.

Alyssa’s Law — legislation to improve the response time of law enforcement during emergencies in public schools by mandating that all public elementary and secondary school buildings be equipped with silent panic alarms that directly notify law enforcement — has passed in Florida, New York, New Jersey, Tennessee and Texas.

Alhadeff said she wants to see Utah join that list next.

"We want to see Alyssa's Law passed here in Utah as a standard level of school safety detection in every school so that when there's a medical emergency or active shooter situation, a teacher can push a button and it's directly linked to law enforcement so help can get on scene as quickly as possible to take down a threat or triage any of the victims," Alhadeff said.

A Lawrence High School basketball coach is charged with raping a female former student.

Jesus Moore, 34, of Manchester, New Hampshire, turned himself into local police on Thursday, according to the Manchester Police Department, on a charge of aggravated felonious sexual assault. He had an immediate hearing where his bail was set at $1,000 cash and his full arraignment is scheduled for March 27 at Manchester District Court.

A woman came forward to allege that Moore had sexually assaulted her in 2022, according to the Manchester PD statement. She said that he had arranged for her to get a ride up to Manchester where he then gave her alcohol and then raped her at a motel.

The abuse prevention in sports organization SafeSport informed the Lawrence Police of the allegations, who in turn shared this information with their counterparts in Manchester on Feb. 7, according to the statement.

A LinkedIn profile with a photo closely matching that of the booking photo released by Manchester Police states that Moore goes by “Moose” and serves as the head boy’s basketball coach at Lawrence High School.

The profile states that he has been employed by Lawrence Public Schools for 10 years, beginning as a long-term substitute teacher in December of 2013. He became a physical education teacher in August 2014 and the varsity basketball coach in August 2018.

He became the school’s PACE program director in August of 2015, according to the profile. PACE stands for Personal Accountability and Commitment to Education, he writes under the resume listing, and is a behavior management system “designed to provide parents, staff and students with clear markers of change in behavior.”

His profile also states he earned a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and corrections from Fitchburg State University in 2013 and a master’s degree in special education with a focus on moderate disabilities from Cambridge College in 2019.

school safety folders

A 15-year-old Dillard High School student was arrested for having a gun on the school’s campus Thursday after another teen accidentally shot himself with it, according to Fort Lauderdale Police.

On Thursday morning, a 16-year-old boy told staff at Broward Health Medical Center that he had accidentally shot himself in the 1100 block of Northwest 24th Avenue, near the high school, said Det. Ali Adamson, a spokesperson for the police department. Staff informed a police officer who was working at the hospital, she said.

At the school later, administrators found the gun when they searched the 15-year-old boy’s belongings for reasons unrelated to the shooting, Adamson said. A search of his backpack found personal belongings of the 16-year-old, and other evidence, Adamson said.

The 16-year-old boy is expected to recover, Adamson said.

The 15-year-old boy faces one count of possession of a firearm on school property, which is a third-degree felony. The police department released the student’s name, but the South Florida Sun Sentinel is not identifying him because he is a minor.

The teen is at least the fifth Broward County student so far in 2024 to be arrested and face charges related to bringing weapons to campus.

A 16-year-old boy at Monarch High School was arrested last week for allegedly having a knife on campus , officials said.

An 18-year-old student at Henry D. Perry Education Center was found with a loaded 9 mm handgun in his waistband in January, according to a probable cause affidavit. A Stranahan High School student was found with a loaded gun on campus a week later, Fort Lauderdale Police said.

Late last month, two 17-year-old boys were arrested at Deerfield Beach High School, where one of them was a student. One of the boys was sleeping in a car parked in the lot, and a search of the car found two loaded handguns, loaded magazines and illegal drugs, the Broward Sheriff’s Office said.

  • Penn State takes down No. 12 Illinois, LSU beats Kentucky at the buzzer in wild Wednesday

school safety folders

Second-half comebacks and an incredible sequence finishing with a buzzer-beating lay-in headlined a wild Wednesday in men's hoops. Here's what you need to know.

Fans at Rec Hall storm the court as Penn State rallies down 14 in second half

In the final 15 minutes of regulation, the Penn State Nittany Lions erased a 14-point deficit and beat No. 12 Illinois by just one free throw down the stretch, 90-89 .

It was Jameel Brown and Zach Hicks who wrestled the Nittany Lions from the double-digit hole, each contributing 11 second-half points. Coming off the bench, Brown found his groove in the nick of time, sinking a trio of crucial threes and three steals to steer momentum in Penn State's direction — his last robbery with :30 on the clock set up a Puff Johnson layup that brought the Nittany Lions within two (89-87).

📊 FINAL STATS: How Penn State pulled off the comeback

On the next possession, Illinois' Coleman Hawkins failed to convert both of his free throws, then he fouled Hicks on his way up for three, painting the perfect comeback picture for Penn State. Roars from the white-out crowd rumbled as Hicks drained each of his three foul shots for a one-point advantage with three seconds left. What happens next, well... You can see the scenes in the Tweet below:

THE COURT STORMS KEEP COMING ⛈️ @PennStateMBB (via @CBBonFOX ) pic.twitter.com/R0pgwV5WDG — NCAA March Madness (@MarchMadnessMBB) February 22, 2024

Nick Kern was Penn State's most prolific shooter, finishing with a team-high 22 points. Hicks was a driver in Penn State's second-half comeback, finishing the game with 13 points and eight boards.

Despite the loss, Illinois dominated the offensive and defensive glass, grabbing 49 total rebounds to Penn State's 25. Fifth-year guard Terrence Shannon Jr. put up a career-high 35 points — shooting 10-18 from the field — and a season-best 11 boards to keep the Fighting Illini in the game. Illinois trailed by nine points early in the game, but went into halftime up 48-41. Critical turnovers and missed shots decided the game.

This marks Penn State's second ranked win this season. The Nittany Lions took down then-No. 11 Wisconsin in mid-January, 87-83, and are now 13-14 on the season (7-9 Big Ten). A middle-dweller in Big Ten standings this year, Penn State can use this Quad 1 win to garner some momentum just three weeks before the conference tournament. As for Illinois (19-7)... Wisconsin and Purdue loom in the next two weeks, as the Illini must prove where they stack up.

Wild sequence at the end of LSU vs. Kentucky ends with an incredible buzzer beater 

What started as Rob Dillingham doing what Rob Dillingham does — sinking a clutch jumper to seal what looked like a Kentucky win, ended with an incredible Tyrell Ward lay-in to send the Wildcats home with a 75-74 loss. Watch the sequence below: 

WHAT. A. SEQUENCE. 😱 UNBELIEVEABLE SCENES IN BATON ROUGE 🤯 pic.twitter.com/bgeB9Inrzc — NCAA March Madness (@MarchMadnessMBB) February 22, 2024

With the win LSU improves to 14-12 on the year, inching closer and closer to the NCAA tournament bubble, while Kentucky falls to 18-8 and 8-5 in SEC play, tied for fifth with Florida in the conference.

Strange Glow Over Moscow Skies Triggers Panic as Explosions Reported

B right flashes lit up the night sky in southern Moscow in the early hours of Thursday morning, new footage appears to show, following reports of an explosion at an electrical substation on the outskirts of the city.

Video snippets circulating on Russian-language Telegram channels show a series of flashes on the horizon of a cloudy night sky, momentarily turning the sky a number of different colors. In a clip shared by Russian outlet MSK1.ru, smoke can be seen rising from a building during the flashes lighting up the scene.

Newsweek was unable to independently verify the details of the video clips, including when and where it was filmed. The Russian Ministry of Emergency situations has been contacted via email.

Several Russian Telegram accounts said early on Thursday that residents of southern Moscow reported an explosion and a fire breaking out at an electrical substation in the Leninsky district, southeast of central Moscow.

Local authorities in the Leninsky district told Russian outlet RBC that the explosion had happened in the village of Molokovo. "All vital facilities are operating as normal," Leninsky district officials told the outlet.

The incident at the substation in Molokovo took place just before 2 a.m. local time, MSK1.ru reported.

Messages published by the ASTRA Telegram account, run by independent Russian journalists, appear to show residents close to the substation panicking as they question the bright flashes in the sky. One local resident describes seeing the bright light before losing access to electricity, with another calling the incident a "nightmare."

More than 10 villages and towns in the southeast of Moscow lost access to electricity, the ASTRA Telegram account also reported. The town of Lytkarino to the southeast of Moscow, lost electricity, wrote the eastern European-based independent outlet, Meduza.

Outages were reported in the southern Domodedovo area of the city, according to another Russian outlet, as well as power failures in western Moscow. Electricity was then restored to the areas, the Strana.ua outlet reported.

The cause of the reported explosion is not known. A Telegram account aggregating news for the Lytkarino area described the incident as "an ordinary accident at a substation."

The MSK1.ru outlet quoted a local resident who speculated that a drone may have been responsible for the explosion, but no other Russian source reported this as a possible cause.

Ukraine has repeatedly targeted Moscow with long-range aerial drones in recent months, including a dramatic wave of strikes in late May.

On Sunday, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said the region's air defense systems had intercepted an aerial drone over the city of Elektrostal, to the east of Moscow. No damage or casualties were reported, he said.

The previous day, Russian air defenses detected and shot down another drone flying over the Bogorodsky district, northeast of central Moscow, Sobyanin said.

There is currently no evidence that an aerial drone was responsible for the reported overnight explosion at the electrical substation in southern Moscow.

‘Scared for our kids’: anger mounts after non-binary teen dies following school fight

Activists decry anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric as they mourn Nex Benedict, 16, who died after ‘altercation’ in Oklahoma high school bathroom

The death of a non-binary 16-year-old in Oklahoma has left LGBTQ+ Americans overwhelmed by anger and grief this week.

Nex Benedict, a 16-year-old non-binary student, died on 8 February after a “physical altercation” with classmates in their high school bathroom, according to a statement by local law enforcement on 21 February.

In a statement on the school’s website, school officials said: “Students were in the restroom for less than two minutes and the physical altercation was broken up by other students who were present in the restroom at the time, along with a staff member who was supervising outside of the restroom.”

By Thursday, no arrests had been made in connection with Nex’s death. Owasso police said that “preliminary information” from the medical examiner’s office suggested Nex had not died as a result of trauma.

Owasso police said an official autopsy report will be available “at a later date”, and that “further comments on the cause of death are currently pending until toxicology results” and other testing is completed.

For now, there’s still a shroud of mystery surrounding how the teenager died.

As the police investigation unfolds, Nex’s death has been a painful reminder of the increasing vulnerability of LGBTQ+ Americans, especially trans and non-binary children.

“While the information we have been able to gather leaves us with a still incomplete picture, we know that Nex Benedict, the student who died, faces being deadnamed and misgendered in death,” said Freedom Oklahoma, an LGBTQ+ advocacy group in a statement this week .

Shortly after Nex’s death, initial reports confused the student’s name and gender identity. In an update on a GoFundMe set up by Nex’s mother Sue Benedict, she said: “We are sorry for not using their name correctly and as parents we were still learning the correct forms. Please do not judge us as Nex was judged, please do not bully us for our ignorance on the subject. Nex gave us that respect and we are sorry in our grief that we overlooked them.”

School officials did not call an ambulance after the “altercation” on 7 February, because “it was determined that ambulance service was not required”, according to a statement released on Wednesday by the Owasso police department. Still, the school nurse recommended “that Nex Benedict visit a medical facility for further examination”.

Notably, Sue Benedict said in an interview with the Independent that her child had started to be bullied by other students last fall. The bullying began shortly after the Oklahoma governor, Kevin Stitt, signed a bill that prohibits transgender public school students from using the bathroom that matches their gender identity.

“I said ‘you’ve got to be strong and look the other way, because these people don’t know who you are’,” she told the publication. “I didn’t know how bad it had gotten.”

Stitt offered his condolences to Nex’s family in a statement on Wednesday, calling it “a tragedy” and said that “bullies must be held accountable”. The statement seemed hollow to LGBTQ+ people across Oklahoma – several of whom told the Guardian this week that their state has become increasingly hostile towards transgender and non-binary people.

“This is a direct result of hateful rhetoric about two-spirit and LGBTQ people,” said Sarah Adams, a two-spirit member of the Choctaw Nation in Oklahoma. Two-spirit is a contemporary term used by many Indigenous cultures to describe a person who lives outside the gender binary of male and female.

Adams said that state leaders including Stitt have routinely antagonized two-spirit and LGBTQ+ people in Oklahoma, creating an unsafe learning environment for public school students like Nex.

“It is tragic that Nex did not receive the support that they needed to go to school and to just go to the bathroom safely,” she said. “It makes me feel so much anger and sadness that as a community, we failed Nex, and it makes me so scared for our kids.”

after newsletter promotion

Oklahoma lawmakers have proposed more than 50 anti-LGBTQ+ laws in 2024 alone, more than any other state this year, according to the ACLU . In 2022, Oklahoma became the first state to enact an explicit ban on non-binary gender markers on birth certificates.

Just two weeks before Nex’s death, the Oklahoma’s schools superintendent, Ryan Walters, appointed the far-right social media influencer Chaya Raichik to the state committee that reviews the appropriateness of school library content. Raichik runs Libs of TikTok, an anti-LGBTQ+ social media account.

In a video released by the Oklahoma department of education last year, Walters described trans children as a danger to their classmates who put “ our girls in jeopardy ”.

For transgender people outside Oklahoma, the coverage and discussion of Nex’s death has been frustrating to behold. Some coverage has used Nex’s deadname and incorrect pronouns, prompting many transgender people to be frustrated by the lack of accountability from anti-LGBTQ+ lawmakers.

“We’ll see people throw their hands up and say, ‘Oh, we don’t know why this violent, horrible event happened.’ But everyone knows what stoked the hate, it’s all very intentional,” said Tiara Kelley, a drag performer in Colorado.

Kelley, who moved to Colorado from Florida in 2019, has become accustomed to anti-trans violence. Several of her friends were killed in the Pulse nightclub shooting of 2016, when a gunman massacred the patrons of the LGBTQ+ hotspot in Orlando. Just a few years later, Kelley was working at Club Q, an LGBTQ+ nightclub in Colorado Springs, where another mass shooting claimed the lives of five people, including a trans bartender who Kelley had befriended.

After the Colorado Springs shooting, LGBTQ+ advocates asked for accountability from Lauren Boebert, a far-right Colorado Republican congresswoman who had previously compared gender-affirming care for trans people to “ child-grooming ”.

Like Stitt, Boebert offered condolences after the 2022 shooting.

“These people, they tell the public that trans people are scary, that trans people hurt children, they repeat hateful falsities and myths,” Kelley said. “And then, when people get hurt, they act like their own rhetoric had nothing to do with it.”

The GoFundMe arranged by Sue Benedict and Kasandra Phelps had raised more than $100,000 by Thursday to “help take care of any funeral expenses” and “other children dealing with the right to be who they feel they are, in Nex Benedict’s name”.

Rural Oklahoma Pride, an LGBTQ+ organization, is planning a candlelight vigil to honor Nex’s memory this weekend.

“We hope that the people in government understand what has happened,” said a spokesperson for Rural Oklahoma Pride. “We need them to know that we are a part of Oklahoma too, Nex was a part of Oklahoma too. It’s time they hear us – we are not going to be silenced.”
