Subject: School Safety & Security Conversation-October 24

Dear Mt. Lebanon Parents,

I would like to invite you to a School Community Conversation on School Safety and Security on October 24 at 7:00 p.m. in the High School Auditorium. I will be joined by MLPD Chief Aaron Lauth to continue the conversation we began last spring. Since then, we have taken additional steps to improve safety and security in our schools.

The Mt. Lebanon School Board recently dedicated $1M to address additional infrastructure needs identified through MLPD’s Safety Audit of our schools. Those recommendations will be used as a guide to prioritize safety and security upgrades throughout the District. I will share an overview of those plans.

I will also share the District's multi-layered approach to support the mental health and well-being of our students. I know that supportive and caring schools where children feel emotionally connected are ultimately safer schools.

Evidence-based strategies that support safe and secure school environments combined with a clear focus on student mental health and well-being guides our work. As a critical partner in our efforts, I invite you to be part of this ongoing conversation on October 24. The event will be recorded and available for view on the District’s website and Channels 19/33.

Sincerely,


Timothy J. Steinhauer, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
