Summer break is one of the best times for school administrators to review and update district crisis and safety plans. With fewer hours devoted to direct contact with students and teachers, it’s a perfect time to gather your administrative team to update contact information for staff and emergency responders and review policies and protocols for consistency and feasibility.

• Perhaps you’ve realized that one of your response protocols requires staff members to do something you’ve discovered would not be feasible in all circumstances, and it makes sense to provide alternative procedures
• Maybe you haven’t addressed a specific hazard that needs to be added to your specific safety plan
• It might be time to conduct another thorough site vulnerability assessment and attend to less-than-safe elements affecting physical security
• Maybe you’ve been waiting for the time to research all of the newer safety products and apps on the market
• Perhaps it’s been a few years since you’ve taken a good look at your safety plan and programming

If you’re not sure where to start, read this for guidance on covering all of the key areas that will significantly improve your school or district level of safety.

If you still need help tackling a specific challenge or want a review of your current plan, consider a brief 1-to-1 consultation to help you move forward with confidence.
