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.
