Make sure your Safety Plan includes all special needs students
“Whatever Emergency Plan you choose, make sure it includes provisions for your special needs students and an accurate attendance accounting so you know if any missing students are really absent and not still in the building. Have people in your building assigned to certain accountability jobs to make sure that the building is cleared and the proper authorities are notified.”
Principal Kelly Waters George Junior High SchoolLamar CISD - Texas

Provide Students with Tools to Keep Them Safe in Any Situation“It is so important to share how vital it is that we teach students to be intrinsically driven in all aspects of their lives.
We want them to be safe and secure, and the school can only protect them during school hours. Our goal is to provide children with the tools to make decisions practically and safely; and to keep them safe in any situation and at all times.”

About School Planning Safe School Planning© is a community of practice movement that creates momentum through networks of individuals who believe that every child attending school learns best when he or she also has a fundamental and profound sense of personal security and wellbeing, safety, confidence and acceptance.
Our goal is to provide leadership tools that educate and empower all stakeholders of the SSP community: students, administrators, educators, school staff, parents, law enforcers, fire fighters, emergency medical (EMS) professionals, doctors, medical staff, dentists, judges, recreation program directors, prosecutors, probation directors, public health educators, mental health leaders and youth-serving professionals to better shape safe learning environments one school at a time.
The outcome of these collective endeavors is the flourishing of all schools as oases of creativity, engagement, and learning that allows for the fulfillment of the highest ideals of learning, wellbeing and personal achievement.
All children deserve to attend safe and secure schools; yet the frequency and severity of school violence, human-caused incidents and natural disasters is escalating. Our world is changing and schools can adapt to these changes by demonstrating the leadership to embrace a culture of safety and security.
Thus, it is time to renew our commitment to safety and the need for access to information that can be used to help all students feel safe within and outside the classroom and to do so with the “best practices” at hand.

Our team believes that a safe school – or any a safe learning environment - is one that is prepared to respond to both the “thinkable and unthinkable crisis or situation”.
We also believe that the two are inextricably linked and more, that “there are two types of school administrators: those who have faced a crisis and those who are about to.”
By learning and practicing what to do about the “thinkable” crises, we are able to more effectively handle the “unthinkable”.

Working Together Supporting School SafetyAll children deserve to attend safe and secure schools; yet the frequency and severity of school violence, human-caused incidents and natural disasters is escalating. Our world is changing and schools can adapt to these changes by demonstrating the leadership to embrace a culture of safety and security. Thus, it is time to renew our commitment to safety within and outside the classroom and to do so with the “best practices” at hand.
Let’s work together to support school safety so that all children can be safe so they can learn.
Start today by reading Ada Dolch’s book – Principles for Principals, Leading the Way to School Safety (Lessons Learned from 9/11). Her story is based on lessons learned from her personal experiences during September 11, 2001.
Thank you for all you do every day as you go to school to keep children safe so they can learn.
