Student Safety is our Top Priority  

The following are some of the security measures we have implemented in our schools:

• Doors in classrooms and other areas highly populated by students have been outfitted with special safety equipment
• School site safety plans are updated annually and reviewed with all staff
• Professional security assessments have been conducted at each school site.  The results inform the development of our safety plans
• Each school conducts regular safety drills for students and employees
• All employees are provided with safety and security training annually
• The SH Police Department has direct two-way communication with the district during any emergency via a handheld radio
• The district has a school resource officer (SRO) who works and is present at one of our four school sites daily throughout the school year and will respond to site emergencies
• All school sites have a dedicated landline with an emergency phone should the internet go down during an emergency
• The SH Police Department and SH Fire Department have master keys for all of our schools to gain emergency access as needed
• The SHUSD, SH Police Department, and SH Fire Department have held “Active Shooter” drills within the district to review and refine our practices
