Crisis Planning Questions to address How often do drills take place on campus- fire, tornado, crisis? How did our school rate when the safety audit was conducted during the 06-07
school year? Based on the audit, what were areas in need of improvement? Do we have a comprehensive crisis plan? Have all staff been given a copy of the plan? When? Have all staff been trained on the plan and its implementation? Have all staff been trained in early warning signs for violent behavior and is there a
system for reporting concerns? Other questions we have and would like to have information about.
As a team, take a few minutes to review the questions provided and develop a follow-up plan.

Climate Survey Review & Discussion Questions
As a team, review your student climate survey data. How did your campus score?
*I feel safe at my school*I feel safe on school property* Teachers at this school care about their students* Adults listen to students ideas and opinions* There is at least one adult at my school who I can go to
if I have a problem
As a team, identify what your campus is doing well as it relates to school safety. What are
safety areas your team needs to focus on?
