Sean Lee, Option 3 teacher and bus driver, recently completed the inaugural Community Public Safety Academy (CPSA), a collaborative initiative led by the Public Safety Training Foundation and the Dawson Civic Leadership Institute. Over the course of eight weeks, Sean attended weekly evening sessions, gaining valuable insight into the roles and responsibilities of the Illinois State Police, Decatur Fire Department, Macon County Sheriff's Office, Decatur Police Department, the City of Decatur, Central Illinois Regional Dispatch, and the Public Safety Training Foundation. Sean is excited to apply what he has learned to help educate and connect students with local first responders, fostering stronger relationships and promoting safer schools and communities. A special thank you to Dr. Juanita Morris and Deputy Chief Erik Ethell for their leadership in facilitating this impactful program—and sincere appreciation to Sean for his commitment to community engagement and student success.
