This letter provides the District's response as directed by the Superior Court's letter of June 27, 2001.
The District includes two grade 9-12 high schools, El Camino High School and South San Francisco High School. The District participated in the initial survey submitted by the Grand Jury. Safety on the District's high school campuses is a top priority.
The District's responses to the findings and recommendations are as follows:
Findings:

No District action is indicated.

"Recommendation 4.12: All San Mateo County public high schools devise and publish the results of a school violence and safety survey twice each school year, utilizing Exhibit 1 as a sample form."
The District collects information and data on school safety in compliance with the State of California Safe Schools Assessment format. This information is reported to the public in the annual School Crime Reporting Summary
"Recommendation 4.13: The 2001-2002 Grand Jury evaluate the results of the survey distributed to middle and intermediate schools."
