We take “school safety” extremely seriously. We are constantly reviewing, updating, and revising our safety response protocols. This blog is meant to give you an update on what we have been doing and will continue to do here in York.
We have communicated with local law enforcement officials and first responders on multiple occasions as we work to make sure we are all on the same page for various safety scenarios. This spring, our law enforcement and first responder departments will all re-familiarize themselves with all of our school facilities. They will come up and tour our buildings and learn about changes we’ve made in our procedures since the last time they did this a few years ago. We will be reviewing our different protocols for lock-downs, fire, tornado, evacuation, and other potential situations.
We are also in the process of researching and revamping various nationally recognized models of “emergency response protocols.” It is our intent to work hand-in-hand with local law enforcement officials so that we all know what each other are trained to do in different circumstances. We are thrilled that our local law enforcement agencies are so willing and able to assist in these efforts.
Our building administrators will continue to review various safety precautions with staff members and/or students in each facility. It is our intent to talk about safe places to hide, share possibilities for exiting our facilities in a hurry, and things to do for all kinds of situations.
Please rest assured, we take the safety of your children extremely seriously and will continue to do so. Please contact my office with any questions, comments, or concerns.
Go Dukes,
Mike Lucas
