Special Order Agenda Subject 4.1 Presentation of the 2019 Student-Designed Medal of Honor Coins Meeting Dec 10, 2019 - Regular School Board Meeting - 10 a.m. Type Presentation BACKGROUND : In October 2019, Tampa Bay hosted the annual Medal of Honor Convention to honor the 70 living Medal of Honor recipients, provide the public a chance to interact with recipients and to conduct the formal business of the Medal of Honor Foundation. The Medal of Honor Character Development Program was created by the Medal of Honor Foundation to raise awareness in the American public about the legacy of the Medal of Honor, educate today’s youth about the character traits inherent in the Medal of Honor and its recipients and inspire people to find these traits within themselves. As a part of hosting the convention, Tampa Bay area school districts agreed to implement curriculum, training and activities to bring the character traits alive for students. Starting in June 2018, Pinellas County Schools (PCS) began implementing K-12 teacher trainings and student learning initiatives across the district with the exceptional Character Development curriculum that provides our students the tools and opportunity to learn more about the values embodied in the Medal of Honor: Courage and Sacrifice, Commitment and Integrity and Citizenship and Patriotism. Since trainings began, there have been various Medal of Honor projects that showcased student learning and teacher dedication to producing students who not only excel academically but put community over self, understand the value of our veterans and the sacrifices they have made for our freedom and are citizens who care about others and want to make a difference in the world. PCS was able to train 124 K-12 teachers, with four of those teachers also being trained as Medal of Honor Character Development Program trainers. As part of this program, K-12 students participated in the Challenge Coin competition by submitting coin designs for the Medal of Honor recipients. There were hundreds of entries and of the six designs selected, three were from PCS students. The Medal of Honor 2019 Convention Committee would like to thank Pinellas County Schools for their support of the Character Development Program with a special presentation of the Challenge Coins designed by Pinellas County students. The student-designed coins were presented to Medal of Honor Recipients on October 23, 2019, at the opening breakfast of the 2019 Medal of Honor Convention.

SB 1418 requires the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) to develop a list of approved suicide screening instruments and establish additional criteria and posting requirements for “Suicide Prevention Certified Schools.” The FDOE, in collaboration with the Statewide Office for Suicide Prevention and suicide prevention experts, identified two suicide risk screening instruments appropriate for assessing suicide risk in school-age youth: Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) Suicide Assessment Five-Step Evaluation and Triage (SAFE-T) SB 1418 also established additional criteria for the “Suicide Prevention Certified School” designation which include the following: Incorporate two hours of suicide awareness and prevention training for all instructional personnel; Adopt a policy mandating the use of an approved suicide risk assessment instrument prior to an involuntary examination; and Identify at least two school-based staff members certified to administer the C-SSRS and SAFE-T risk assessment instruments. Therefore, additional language is proposed to be included within Policies 2410 and 8410 that reflects the utilization of an approved suicide risk assessment instrument prior to an involuntary examination due to concerns about the student’s suicide risk. RATIONALE : Proposed updates are aligned with best practices regarding suicide risk assessment.
