School Safety
Each school has successfully completed the first of two safety lockdown drills scheduled for this year. As we work toward our goal of increasing safety within the buildings, PCSD has adopted the work of the I Love You Guys Foundation and the Standard Response Protocol (SRP). The SRP identifies five actions that can be taken in response to a variety of emergency situations. The actions are lockdown, lockout, shelter, hold and escape. Please see the Standard Response Protocol Flyer link for more detail. The options for actions we are teaching the students are to run/escape, hide or fight.
