The District Wide Safety Plan is required by law to ensure that schools are ready to prevent or minimize the effects of serious incidents and emergencies. It is also used to facilitate coordination with local and county resources in the event of an emergency.
The plan addresses the needs of all schools within the district and is consistent with a confidential detailed emergency response plan at the school building level.
