School Safety Plans

• Every school is required to have one.
• School officials and local emergency first
  responders should work together to develop
  protocols and include key information in the
  plans to establish clear directions on what to do
  in an emergency.
• The plans must be routinely updated to account
  for new safety partners and to incorporate best
  practices.
• Safety partners should sign off on the plans.
• The safety and floor plans, important documents
  and information, and other items such as master
  keys, student parent records, rosters, yearbooks,
  whistles, bullhorn, and flashlights must be
  readily available at a secure place on site in
  the event of an incident.
