Safety & Security

Our mission is to provide a quality education for all children in a safe learning environment. To that end, Joplin Schools takes crisis management and emergency response very seriously.

Every school in the district has a critical incident plan to guide staff in preparing for and responding to a wide variety of critical incidents that may occur. School plans are reviewed annually and have been reviewed by various emergency responders throughout the district to insure their effectiveness and compliance with county emergency procedures. They allow schools to respond appropriately to critical incidents and return to educational activities and a sense of normalcy in a timely manner.

Information regarding the safety, security and emergency preparedness of the district will continue to be posted on the Joplin Schools website. It will be updated as new information becomes available.
