Mandatory Drills for Schools

The Texas School Safety Center has updated the following resources to reflect these new mandates: Training, Drilling and Exercising Toolkit and the Drill Guidance for Schools Document.
School Safety and Security Committee Guidelines

Texas Education Code specifically describes who shall serve on a School Safety and Security Committee, how often they shall meet and what they are charged to implement. This committee must actively participate in developing and implementing emergency plans for campuses and other facilities.

EOP Basic Plan Toolkit

When developing the district’s multi-hazard emergency operations plan (EOP), the “Basic Plan” is the foundational document necessary when creating a district EOP. The Basic Plan provides essential information for the district’s leadership and key personnel to manage emergencies that affect the district. The EOP Basic Plan Toolkit includes plan templates, planning resources, and links to training that will assist the district’s EOP planning teams.
