EMERGENCIES

Disaster can strike at any time and cause wide-spread damage and injury.

Such disasters can be created by humans or the result of natural causes and can occur with little, if any, warning.  Thus, it is the intent of the Board to create a systematic means to minimize the negative impact of any disaster on students, employees, visitors and others while on District property or at school-sponsored events.  To this end, the Superintendent, with staff and community input, shall develop a tactical emergency response plan which will include, but not be limited to the threat of:

     Chemical, biological and nuclear incidents.

     Bomb threats.

     Building collapse.

     Hostage situations.

     Conditions of nature.

     Arson.

     Civil disturbances.

     Explosions.

     Vehicular accidents.

     Active Shooter.

A tactical emergency response plan is a safe school plan that details risk assessments and establishes the plans or procedures to manage an emergency event after it has occurred and includes, but is not limited to, emergency routes and staff assignments as they relate to immediate actions, delayed actions, mitigation actions, facility evacuations and facility reentry.  The plan shall clearly outline the requirements and discretion afforded each school with regard to the administration of the plan.  The plans will also designate specific emergency drills to be conducted.  The plan shall be presented to the Board for approval but shall not be released to the public due to the student wellness and safety issues related to the information.
