School Safety/Emergency Planning
The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) has been charged with assisting local education agencies (LEAs) with resources designed to assist creating safe and secure learning environments for students and staff. As DESE will continue to add training, guidance, and resource features we encourage school administrators to revisit the website periodically.
All LEAs are advised to proactively work with local law enforcement, fire departments, health departments, community groups to ensure that school safety and emergency planning and response is inclusive of all relevant community partners.
