District to roll out I Love You Guys standard response protocol for staff and students
Summary
The finance committee was briefed on the district's adoption of the I Love You Guys Foundation's Standard Response Protocol; staff said administrators and most staff have been or will be trained and posters will be placed in buildings before student lessons begin next week.
Staff member Beth described the district’s move to the I Love You Guys Foundation’s Standard Response Protocol (SRP) to standardize emergency language across buildings. She explained the SRP categories — Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate and Shelter — and said the goal is a single set of terms so all staff, students and first responders use the same language. "The actions are hold. And a hold could be like a medical situation happening out in the hallway," Beth said when explaining how the categories map to actions.
Beth told the committee administrators and staff have been trained or will be trained next week and that student lessons begin in classrooms soon; posters will be posted around district buildings by the end of the week. The district will continue coordinating lockdown and evacuation training with local police, and staff emphasized that some elements of the full safety plan will come to Ed Services (likely in closed session) next month for committee review.
