Effective prevention, response, and recovery systems for our families
What should a parent look for related to school safety at their child’s school? Security and emergency preparedness measures should be balanced with strong violence prevention and intervention programs. Student involvement in school safety planning, well-disciplined and positive school climate, and practice responses, are genuine elements of a comprehensive safe schools approach that play critical roles in making schools safe.
It is imperative for school administrators to prioritize student engagement in the planning process for safety preparedness; not solely in the activities of the drills. Pre-pandemic, students were universally present at school safety incidents. They will naturally look to the Principal and School Resource Officers. There are even Teachers, Counselors, and Staff whom they trust to lead in response. However, they are impacted by and should be part of the planning for emergency response.
