Relationships and collaboration between school districts and local first responders are crucial, and Troy Burke's post below lends a perfect example of the good will and increased readiness for emergencies that can result when school districts make assets available to first responders for training. Consider: -School districts have schools, buildings and stadiums (many of which are idle during the summer) and fleets of school buses (frequently a few that are decommissioned and headed to salvage). -Both the district and the community depend on first responders to be competent at tactics and familiar with the layout/features of school buildings (and buses) when responding to emergencies. - Police departments need to be familiar with the layout/features of schools and other buildings, and are almost always on the lookout for new buildings for officers to train in/on (building entries & searches, active shooter response, hostage rescue and other tactics). Same for school buses (also to practice emergency entry, hostage rescue and the like). - Fire departments/EMS are also always on the lookout for buildings and vehicles (especially buses) to practice rescue/extrication. It's a win-win where school districts allow first responders to use the district's inventory of buildings and buses for training and exercise purposes. The cost to the district is typically negligible (may have to run the building AC for a day or absorb lower auction sale price of salvage bus), but having first responders with more training "reps" in actual district buildings (or buses) can result in more effective responses during an emergency - a big win for the school district and the community at large. Not sure? Districts and local first responders can quell apprehension and grease the wheels of cooperation by having a thoughtful discussion with appropriate district and local gov't representatives, and working out an MOU that includes things like: 1. Expectations on cleanup and repair of any unintended damage to district property (Sarge, can you please have your guys make sure no simms paint is left on the walls...). 2. Who at the district is authorized to approve a police/fire request to use a building for training and the process to confirm no conflicting district business or event is scheduled in that building. 3. Procedures/requirements to avoid alarm by district staff, students or the community (advance notification that an unusual first responder presence at a district building is for training purposes and not an actual emergency). 4. Expectations for unlocking/locking/setting alarms, etc., in buildings.

Stable housing is crucial for businesses and for the people who depend on these businesses for their survival and well-being. The housing issue affects staple jobs in our community, including nurses, teachers, firefighters, and many industries that are essential - people who, in the past, would have little trouble finding a place to live in Bend. As your Chamber, we are leading the development and implementation of initiatives that will bring more affordable housing to our local workforce. But we can't do it alone.
