School Safety
The Standard Response Protocol
The Standard Response Protocol (SRP) provides consistent, clear, shared language and actions among all students, staff, and first responders for all hazards. SRP is action based and allows organizations, first responders, students and parents to share a specific vocabulary for quick and coordinated actions. SRP also acts as a tool for training which develops the muscle memory necessary to respond appropriately in moments of crisis.
The SRP is based on five actions: Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, and Shelter.
The Standard Reunification Method
Reunifying students with parents or guardians is a critical component of emergency response, but one that is often overlooked. The Standard Reunification Method (SRM) provides school and district teams with proven methods to plan, practice, and achieve a successful reunification amid what can be chaotic and stressful circumstances.
Water Tests
The Delaware Department of Education provided the results of the lead retest of the water sources in our district. We are pleased to report the overwhelming majority of our fixtures tested negative; however, we did have a small percentage of sources that tested above the limit established by the Delaware Department of Education. Fortunately, these sources are not located in public areas and are not used for consumption.
All offending water sources were immediately turned off and labeled as off-limits. Said water sources have been remediated or access permanently removed.
More detailed results can be found at de.gov/schoolwater.
