Moraga School District to Create a Committee on Student Safety

The Governing Board of the Moraga School District (MSD) approved Tuesday night, June 12, the creation of a Board Committee for Student Safety that will be charged with reviewing MSD practice and training regarding child abuse and mandated reporting, and to propose changes and/or improvements by the start of the 2012-2013 school year. The decision came in response to media coverage of failures to report suspected abuse by MSD personnel in the 1990s. Very few parents and members of the community chose to talk at the meeting. One parent spoke in support of the current Superintendent and Board, one resident was outraged and demanded that the Board and Superintendent resign, and one parent asked for an impartial investigation to be conducted in order to understand what elements of the MSD failed that allowed the non-reporting of suspected abuse. The Board did not support that proposal.
