When sharing portions of the Comprehensive School Safety Plan (CSSP), it is essential to exercise discretion, especially regarding sections that detail specific responses to emergencies or potential threats. Publicly disclosing too much information could unintentionally compromise the safety measures the plan is designed to protect.

With that in mind, families and community members can access certain information about their school’s comprehensive school safety plan in the following ways:

• School Accountability Report Card (SARC): Available on each school’s website.
• In-Person Review: Visit the school office to request a review of allowable sections of the CSSP with the principal.

For questions or more information, please contact our school’s main office or the Student & Community Services Department at the district office. Together, we ensure our schools remain safe, supportive, and prepared.

A CSSP is a strategic document that outlines how a school prepares for and responds to emergencies, promotes a safe school climate, and complies with state safety mandates. It is reviewed and updated annually by March 1 and presented at a public meeting for community input.

Key Components of the CSSP Include:

• Assessment of school safety and crime
• Child abuse reporting procedures
• Disaster and emergency response procedures
• Earthquake and fire drill protocols
• Lockdown, evacuation, and shelter-in-place procedures
• Procedures for notifying staff of dangerous students
• Anti-discrimination and harassment policies
• Safe ingress (entry) and egress (exit) routes
