OUSD proposes violence-intervention and life-coaching services at Rudsdale

What happened

OUSD is seeking approval for a $352,185.90 violence-intervention and prevention agreement at Rudsdale Continuation High School, running October 19, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The proposal funds two full-time roles—a Violence Interruption Specialist and a Life Coach—with safety planning, conflict mediation, and individualized coaching for at least 10 students.

Why it matters to families

This is a substantial, school-specific safety and support program for justice-involved, immigrant, and other high-risk students, pairing immediate de-escalation and conflict mediation with longer-term case management and connections to education and careers.

The evidence

The October 14, 2026 board agenda asks approval of the BACR agreement for Rudsdale, not to exceed $352,185.90. Its memo describes the two full-time positions, safety planning, conflict mediation, healing-centered groups, and a Life Coach serving at least 10 students. This is a proposed action, not a recorded approval.
