5.5Report from Site Representatives
-Diane, Katie, Chele, and Don confirmed the excitement of “Caught in the Act.” Ten forms were submitted this month! Chele and Don reported that at monthly staff meetings the administrator in charge picks a safety memorandum to pass out to all staff focusing on a safety issue for that month.
5.6SIPE Risk Management Committee Report/ Bill Schassberger
-Bill wanted to emphasize that the money for “Caught in the Act” is NOT district money. It comes as a grant from our insurance company.
-SIPE Committee discussed issues of theft, graffiti, etc. – some severe issues we are fortunate not to be experiencing. Also, bookkeeping was a topic.
5.7Safety Incentive Awards Program & Drawing
The committee decided that every employee in the district except for committee members could win “Caught in the Act.” Due to its popularity now all forms will be submitted, but 2 would be drawn from each site for the $20 award. Out of those a $100 award would be drawn. This month we had 10 winners of $20. Karen Hardman won the $100!!!!
