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.
