INTRODUCTION PREFACE Issues of school safety are no longer limited to the traditional fire drills, earthquake drills, or other similar natural disaster drills. The impact of societal dysfunction has created a need for additional safety and security procedures that are associated more closely with tactics designed to deal with global terrorism. The previous statement may sound a little extreme, but in light of recent events nationally, there is cause to examine and heighten school security where needed. Regardless of the causes, the fact remains that administrators, school board, teachers, staff, parents and students are going to be faced with increasingly complex ethical issues and problems related to school safety and security. The reality is one that if you wait for the problems to present themselves at the school house doors, school districts and communities become reactive as opposed to proactive. In response, the focus of this document is to summarize implications, guidelines, and specific procedures for staff and students throughout the district.
