We believe every parent should be a school safety advocate. To aid parents, we publish a set of five questions that families need to ask to ensure their children’s safety at school.
​
These questions are a starting point for an extended conversation that families should have with their children’s school officials, teachers, and administrators to understand how prepared a school is to address safety issues and how transparent a school is when they occur.
-
Does the school have an active shooter policy?
-
Does the school train all staff members for active shooter scenarios?
-
Does the school have a single point of entry (access control) during school hours?
-
Is there a way students and staff can report threats?
-
How are parents notified when a threat has been made to the school?
