The Board recognizes its responsibility to provide facilities, equipment and training necessary to minimize the effects of disasters and/or emergency situations. It is the responsibility of the administration to develop a school safety plan which will serve as an educational tool and an emergency response measure. The school district plan should provide as much protection as possible for children while at school and on their way to and from school, and should provide adequate instruction so that the plan may be carried out with the greatest possible speed and safety.
The administration shall be directed to develop emergency plans for evacuating the building during fire and other emergencies and for using the building for shelter in the safest manner possible during extremely inclement weather.
Drills shall be held to implement such plans to allow for order and efficiency in the event of a true emergency.
