![Student Walking to School Bus.](https://info.proactiverg.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogs/LinkedIn_Blog_Image.jpg?width=300&height=157&name=LinkedIn_Blog_Image.jpg)School violence is at an all-time high in this country, with many security experts predicting that these numbers will increase. The staggering reality is that many schools must catch up when providing their children with a comprehensive safety and security protocol. Get involved at your child's school by asking administrators how they keep your child safe.

### Signs of an ineffective school safety plan:

- ##### Limited training for staff and students.
- ##### Training that scares staff and students instead of educating them.
- ##### Teachers are not trained in life-saving emergency care, such as bleed control and CPR.
- ##### Inadequate and hard-to-find emergency medical equipment.
- ##### The staff is unaware of or doesn't understand their school's active shooter response protocol.
- ##### Substitute teachers are not trained on the school's active shooter response plan.
- ##### NO ACTIVE SHOOTER PROTOCOL IS IN PLACE.

ProActive Response Group's active shooter and emergency response training are designed to EMPOWER and SAVE LIVES. It is true when we say "it takes a village" to raise and keep our children safe. We all need to do our part in protecting our most precious gifts in life. Let administrators know school safety isn't just a task on a to-do list waiting to get checked off.

[![Trained to respond. Empower to survive. Give your teachers the tools.](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/4802199/c6898efc-89c2-4d72-8cf7-c4fad5ce053d.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/4802199/c6898efc-89c2-4d72-8cf7-c4fad5ce053d)
