After her mother went unconscious, Amy took over with information that was vital for emergency medicalfire personnel, the chief said. Firefighters Rod Webb and Jeff Bentley were the first on the scene, he said. Dispatcher Maggie Ward handled the calls. At Heather Estates there are a lot of apartments, and it can be diffi throughout the community. Volunteerism is encouraged for kids, who often have no idea where such opportunities exist, Borud said. Kids now go to nursing homes, something they never did before; they decorate a Christmas tree, and theres not one nickel of cult to figure out which is the right one, he said. The dispatcher called Amy back, asking her to unlock the security door and lead emergency personnel to her mom, which Amy did. Amy also called a neighbor to administrative costs for these efforts, he emphasized. Who is raising our kids? Kids have a hard tune participating (interactively) with a TV, he emphasized, noting there are some similarities with Davis County. For example, the two largest religions are Nazarene and LDS. It is not clear whether growing up now is riskier busi- ness than it once was, or whether we are simply doing a better job of naming and counting problems that have existed before, he said. It does not really matter. What matters is that there are too many casualties, too many wounded, too many dose calls. Our highest national priority should be to mobilize out collective energy, commitment, and ingenuity to ensure a bright future for each and every child.

Davis said one of the case management teams biggest concerns is to find a balance between assuring that a student doesnt have his or her rights taken away, while still assisting administrators in averting discipline problems. We make sure that due process rights are observed so that theres a place for the student, and to support the principal, said Davis. Its a balance between the good of the group and the rights of the individual, because thats the world we live in today. Often the students are moved around to where they would have a higher ratio of adults to children," said Davis. They do better there. Case management falls under responsibility of the Davis School t)i$trict Safety Coordinating Council. ,r1 There are two different councils that are involved in creating and coordinating safety programs for the school district. The first the is Safe HomesSchoolsCommunity Coordinating Committee. It is a collaboration between mayors, police departments and the district to do just what its name implies. Its a good way to get everybody in the community to communicate, said Davis. Davis County is a little odd in that it has around 15 cities, with 15 different mayors, and 15 different police departments, but only one school district. This committee is responsible for the Talk and Lock program that has been modeled around the state.
