The Sumner-Bonney Lake School District is creating a Safety Advisory Council, which will involve examining issues relating to providing students and staff with safe environments. The work also includes emergency preparedness and reviewing safety and operations data.

A recommending unit of safety and security, the Safety Advisory Council will include representatives from district staff, students and families, community members, and first responders.

Please complete this application and submit it to Charmaine Abram on or before 5 p.m. on Aug. 31. If you have questions, contact Charmaine Abram at charmaine_abram@sumnersd.org or (253) 891-6080. Learn more about the Safety Advisory Council.
