The Board of Education is committed to maintaining a safe school environment. The Board believes that school crime and violence are multifaceted problems that need to be addressed in a manner that utilizes the best resources and coordinated efforts of District personnel, law enforcement agencies, and families. The Board further believes that administrators and local law enforcement officials must work together to provide for the safety and welfare of students while they are at school or a school-sponsored activity or while enroute to or from school, or a school-sponsored activity. The Board also believes that the first step in addressing school crime and violence is to assess the extent and nature of the problem(s) or threat, and then plan and implement strategies that promote school safety and minimize the likelihood of school crime and violence.

The District Administrator shall promulgate administrative guidelines for responding to a crisis situation, developing school safety plans, and providing effective intervention for students who may show warning signs that relate to violence or other threatening behaviors.

A school safety plan will be developed for each school in the District and approved by the Board. Each school’s plan will be reviewed no less than every three (3) years and resubmitted to the Board for approval.
