Mitigating Hazards in School Facilities
Each school facility has a visible marquee or other signage clearly identifying the school by name.
Areas where students congregate while waiting for buses and associated pedestrian paths are adequate to avoid overcrowding.
Facility entry points are kept to a minimum and are clearly marked.
The main point of entry is readily identifiable.
Access to each building is controllable through designated entry points. If possible, identify one entry point for visitors.
The main office has communication capability with all classrooms.
All windows lock securely. Hardware and frames are in good condition.
Windows that are intended as a secondary means of escape are not blocked and are readily able to open from the inside.
Each building maintains at least one Administrator tool kit.
16
All buildings display Quick Reference Cards (QRC). These include chain of command and evacuation and shelter scenarios. Cards are readily available in all offices and classrooms as well as easily identifiable.
Electronic Violence and Vandalism reporting System (EVVRS) data and School Security Incident Reports (SSIR) are reviewed regularly.
Local law enforcement regularly updates the school system with regard to current emerging gang activity within the immediate vicinity as well as the county.
Incidents of bullying are analyzed for patterns of behavior.
The transportation department has created and implemented a code of student conduct governing student behavior while travelling on district busses. Drivers complete a Bus Incident Report when misbehavior occurs on a school bus. That form is reviewed by the Director of Transportation who transmits it to school administration for investigation and appropriate action.
Any suspicious packages that arrive in a school building will be isolated until the authorities have an opportunity to inspect the package and make a determination regarding its safety.
If we are alerted by the authorities that there is a suspicion that tainted or dangerous packages are being delivered to public entities, we will establish a central location within each school to open the packages using appropriate gear to prevent contamination of the person opening the package and others.

If it necessary to seek shelter within the school building, it is suggested that the elementary schools shelter students and staff in the halls away from windows, the middle school in the library, and the high school in the auditorium
DISTURBANCE IN THE BUILDING
ISC or designee will initiate a Lockdown by announcing over the intercom followed by a plain talk description of the situation.
Teachers/staff will: o Provide refuge within their classrooms for unsupervised students in the hallways. o Escort students who are in open areas or rooms incapable of being secured
outside using the closest exit and proceed to one of the pre-determined evacuation sites.
o Lock classroom doors. o Help students to remain as quiet and calm as possible. o Keep students away from windows or doors. o Secure students out of sight.
The ISC or designee should do the following:
Contact police (911). Advise police if a weapon is involved and try to provide a description of the intruder. When police arrive, they are in charge until the scene is declared safe.
Notify the Superintendent.
Cancel the alert when the police declare the scene safe.
Meet with faculty to discuss such issues as: Are there any students displaying severe emotional distress as a result of the incident and how will this be addressed.
Prepare a plan to reassure students, staff and parents that the school is safe.
REVERSE EVACUATION
Reverse evacuation procedures are implemented when conditions inside the building are safer than outside. Reverse evacuation procedures are often implemented in combination with other procedures (e.g. lockdown, shelter-in-place) in order to ensure the safety of students and staff who are outside the building. When implementing Reverse Evacuation procedures: Building Administration • Make an announcement or sound alarm for reverse evacuation
• Direct staff to physically notify any classes that may be too far away from the building to hear the announcement or alarm
• Monitor the situation
• Provide staff with any updates or additional instructions
• Announce “all clear” signal when the emergency has ceased
25
Staff Response • Move all students and staff inside as quickly as possible
• Assist those needing additional assistance
• Report to classroom
• Take attendance
• Report any missing, extra or injured students to building administration
• Wait for further instructions
PROCEDURES FOR DEATH OF A STUDENT/STAFF MEMBER
The death and circumstances of the death are reported to the school personnel.
The school administrator accesses the impact of the death upon the school community and determines: o Can a meaningful response be handled through building administrative teaching,
guidance, and/or support staff? o Should a before-school faculty meeting be arranged via the phone chain to
involve/inform the building faculty? The purpose of a before-school faculty meeting would be to unite the entire staff, review the known facts, dispel rumors, discuss a strategy or plan for the day, and allow staff the opportunity to address their feelings and concerns.
o Is the impact of the death so intense that appropriate community resources need to be involved?
The administrator would consult with front office staff to assure that any information going out from phone contacts is accurate and appropriate.
Acknowledgment of the death could be announced by the principal or designee using the public address system. The announcement would express sympathy to family and friends, inform the students that counselors are in the building and available to meet with students, and allow for a moment of silence.
Following the announcement, teachers are asked to allow time during the day for a frank and supportive discussion of the death. If the teacher is uncomfortable with such a discussion, a short statement acknowledging the death would be helpful. Crisis Team members would be available to assist teachers with these discussions which would emphasis any of the following messages: o To confirm with the students the importance of expressing their thoughts and
feelings, and to reassure them that there are many staff members in the building who would be willing to listen and help.
o To inform students that counselors are available in the guidance area to talk with them about concerns.
o To dispel rumors o To encourage students to be supportive of one another. o To encourage students to discuss their feelings and concerns with their parents. o To encourage students to discuss their memories of the deceased person.
In the death of a student, have a guidance counselor “shadow” or follow the class schedule of the deceased student and inform each teacher on the schedule that, if requested, a counselor would be available that day to assist in any classroom discussion.
26
If the death of a teacher, counselors should be available to meet with the deceased teacher’s class to “process” their reactions to the death.
The principal would contact the family to express sympathy and to address any requests or concerns the family might have.
Any media contacts would be directed to a designated spokesperson.
The principal could call a faculty meeting at the end of the school day to review the day’s happenings, and to develop further strategies.
The following are suggestions for a school’s response to death, particularly death that occurs as a result of school violence: 1. After the initial response, administrators and counselors will meet immediately to review
what has happened. Responding to the psychological needs of both staff and students as soon as possible is the best prevention for the development of posttraumatic stress.
2. Get as much information as possible from the family and ask their permission to share it
with the students, faculty, and staff. Ask if they have any objection to students, faculty, and staff attending the funeral.
3. Relay the information to the students in a factual way, careful to avoid breaching the
student’s or family’s privacy. The principal and counselor might consider moving from room to room to tell the students what has happened. They should tell the truth, allow for ventilation, and affirm any expressions or feelings the students have. Students need to be told that they may visit the counselor’s office for special assistance if they need to talk.
4. If possible, allow a break after telling the students in order to give them an opportunity to
ventilate and express their grief with other students. 5. Watch for trouble signs among the students. Be prepared to call in extra counselors if
necessary.
PROCEDURES FOR SEVERE INJURY OR ILLNESS Upon encountering an emergency involving severe injury and illness, assess the scene for safety:
If the scene in unsafe, immediately call 911 for assistance with the dangerous situation.
If the scene is safe, obtain medical help immediately by calling the school nurse and 911 if necessary. Provide medical assistance if professionally trained. If not, provide comfort and reassurance until help arrives.
Medical procedures shall not be performed by anyone who is not professionally trained.
27
SUICIDE INFORMATION
GENERAL PROCEDURES 1. Take seriously any student’s expressions of suicidal threats. No student who has
expressed any suicidal threats of any kind should be left alone for any amount of time. 2. Listen carefully and encourage a frank and compassionate discussion with the student.
Indicate your deep concern for their safety and well-being and that you must take very seriously any expressed threat that a student makes upon his/her life.
3. Consult with other school staff (Administration, Crisis Counselors, Guidance, etc.) To
appraise the seriousness of the suicidal ideation, and to establish possible intervention plan, parent contact and referral.
4. When it is determined that a student is at risk for suicide, the parents must be notified
as soon as possible. A designated staff person can discuss with parents the student’s expressed suicidal ideation, referral possibilities and the plan of action which they wish to pursue.
5. A designated staff person should maintain a supportive follow-up plan with the student
and parents to address any future risk concerns. 7. In the event that a suicidal student confides in another student of their possible actions,
all students should be encouraged to come forward immediately with any information of the suicidal student. “Protecting” this fellow student can and may result in the suicidal student completing his/her suicide.
8. If there is a death by suicide, it is natural for grieving students to request to memorialize
a deceased friend. The concern with suicide is that a visual memorial within the school or yearbook might be perceived as glamorizing or normalizing the suicide act, and could add to the “contagion” factor. Establishing a specific fund where survivors can make contributions which would be given to designated charities or services is a safer way to help students address their sense of loss.
GUIDELINES FOR TALKING WITH STUDENTS IN THE AFTERMATH OF SUICIDE
1. Explain that it is normal to feel emotions such as shock, fear, sadness, guilt, or anger.
Encourage student to talk about these feelings with parents, friends, and counselors. 2. Let students know that there is no “right way” to feel after a suicide. Remind them that
people deal with grief differently, and they need to be patient with each other. 3. Don’t expect students to “resolve their grief” after talking with someone about it. Grief is
a process, and students need to work through that process in order to reconcile themselves with their loss.
4. Don’t try to “cheer students up.” They need to experience the grief process, even
though it is often painful. 5. Help to clarify facts about suicide. Ask students to tell you what they have heard.
Correct errors and rumors, if necessary.
28
6. Stress that no is to blame for the suicide. The victim alone made the decision to commit suicide. No one “caused” the victim to come to that decision.
7. Do not glamorize the suicide in any way. In discussing it, focus on recovery of the
survivors and alternative methods of dealing with problems. 8. Encourage students to describe their memories of their friend. These memories may be
happy, sad, or angry. 9. Talk candidly with students about what they can expect at the funeral home and funeral
service. 10. Rehearse possible condolence messages to the family. This is a new experience for
most students and they don’t know what to say. 11. Emphasize that help is available to students who are feeling suicidal. Make sure
students know where to go to get help for themselves or for a friend who is depressed or suicidal.
MEMO TO ALL FACULTY AND STAFF REGARDING SUDDEN DEATH
Please keep the following in mind during the week ahead: 1. Points to Remember About Students During A Sudden Death Crisis.
A. Sudden death is especially difficult because there has been no time to prepare for the loss. It occurs without warning and reactions may therefore be delayed.
B. If the circumstances of the loss have also been violent, students may seem
preoccupied with both the fact that the death occurred as well as how it occurred.
C. If there were witnesses to the death, these students may need additional help in dealing with what has happened.
D. If the death was related to an auto accident and there were other students
involved, these students may require additional support upon their return home.
E. Students are experiencing a loss and consequently must grieve the death of their classmate or faculty member.
F. Students will experience a wide range of emotions; there is no “right way” to feel;
each person has a unique response to the crisis.
G. Talking about feelings in open discussions is an appropriate way of expressing grief.
H. Classroom activities may need to be altered, especially in the first few days after
the death. If you have questions about a particular activity planned for your classes, feel free to consult with any Crisis Management Team member. Crisis counselors will be available to assist teachers and students
I. Recovery will take time and vary from individual to individual.

SAMPLE LETTER SUDDEN DEATH OVER SUMMER VACATION
Dear Students, As some of you may already know, over the summer our school experienced the tragic deaths of two of our students,______________________and______________, died as the result of an auto accident on______________________and________________________died on____________________. ____________________________death was a suicide. The death of any member of our school community is hard to accept and I know you join me in the expressions of sadness and sympathy we extend to their families. Suicide presents us with additional challenges in understanding or accepting the death. We often find ourselves searching for reasons to explain what happened and even our best explanations often leave us with many unanswered questions that may never be resolved. Lots of rumors may surface as we try to understand the death, and as you know from your own experience, rumors often bear little resemblance to the truth. And the sad reality of the situation is that no explanation changes what has happened or brings the person back. Each of us reacts to loss in our own unique way. Some of you may be unaffected by these deaths, while there may be others who experience a great deal of grief. If you would find it helpful to talk with someone about your reactions, guidance counselors and crisis team members will be available to meet with you. We need to recover from the deaths of these two students both individually and as a school. And from our past experiences with loss, I know as we share our grief, we can share in recovery. Respectfully,

MEMO TO ALL FACULTY AND STAFF REGARDING SUICIDE
Please keep the following in mind during the week ahead: 1. Points to Keep in Mind During a Suicide Crisis
A. Suicide is not the result of normal adolescent stresses nor is it the result of one single event. It is the product of a complex interaction of many factors in the life of an adolescent who is at risk. Avoid discussion with students that speculate on the causes or attribute blame for the death. Victims of suicide should not be glamorized or memorialized in a “heroic” sense.
B. Students are experiencing a loss and consequently must grieve the death of their classmate (or faculty member).
C. Students will experience a wide range of emotions; there is no “right way” to feel; each person has a unique response to crisis.
D. Talking about feelings in open discussions is an appropriate way of expressing grief.
E. Classroom activities may need to be altered, especially in the first few days after the death. If you have questions about a particular activity planned for your classes, feel free to consult with any Crisis Management team member.
F. Remember that recovery will take time and varies from individual. If you feel a student or member of our faculty needs to see a crisis management team counselor, contact the guidance office who will refer you to a member of our crisis management team.
Sample Announcement for a Suspicious Death Not Declared Suicide-Morning, Day 1 This morning we heard the extremely sad news that ________________died last night from a gunshot wound. This is the only information we have officially received on the circumstances surrounding the event. I know we are all saddened by___________’s death and send our condolences to his family and friends. Crisis stations will be located throughout the school today for students who wish to talk to a counselor. Information about the funeral will be provided when it is available, and students may attend with parental permission.
Sample Announcement for Suicide-Morning, Day 1 This morning we heard the extremely sad news that___________________took his life last night. I know we are all saddened by his death and send our condolences to his family and friends. Crisis stations will be located throughout the school today for students who wish to talk to a counselor. Information about the funeral will be provided when it is available, and students may attend with parental permission.
Sample Announcement for Suicide-Day 2 We now know that __________________’s death has been declared a suicide. Even though we might try to understand the reasons for his/her doing this, we can never really know what was going on that made him/her take life. One thing that’s important to remember is that there is never just one reason for a suicide; there are always many reasons or causes and we will never be able to figure them all out.
Today we begin the process of returning to a normal schedule in school. This may be hard for some of us to do. Counselors are still available in school to help us deal with our feelings.

Health Protocol Letter to Parents
Dear Parents,
In order to ensure that school remains a safe and healthful environment, this health protocol
has been developed by the Cinnaminson School Nursing Department.
I. We cannot risk the possibility of infection to the other students when a sick child is
sent to school or becomes ill at school. If your child has developed any of the following
symptoms during the previous 24 hours, he/she should remain at home the next school
day.
a. Fever of 100º F or higher. The temperature should be normal for 24 hours before
returning to school.
b. Congestive cough
c. Vomiting
d. Diarrhea
e. Discharge that is other than clear from nose, eyes, mouth, ears or any other areas
f. Skin rash
II. If a student arrives at school or develops any of the previously listed symptoms, you
will be notified and expected to take your child home. If you cannot be reached, the
available contact on the emergency card will be called. Students sometimes are not
able to specify what is wrong or how they feel. Thus, staff must use their own judgment
to determine if the student can benefit from an educational setting at that time. When,
in the judgment of the student’s teacher, principal, and/or school nurse, a student shows
signs of being in ill health or of suffering from infections or a contagious disease, the
parent will be notified and said student will be sent home from school.
III. A student should not be in school and will be sent home if any of the following
condition(s) are present:
a. Fever of 100º F or higher. The temperature should be normal for 24 hours before
returning to school.
b. The student is unable to function/participate in the school activities due to
observed health status.
c. The student wants to sleep during the day and appears listless.
d. The student has a discharge which is other than clear from the nose, mouth, eyes,
ears, or any other areas.
e. The student is vomiting.
f. The student has diarrhea.
g. The student has a congestive cough which prevents him or her from meaningful
involvement in the educational process.
h. The student has an open, draining sore and will not keep the bandage on.
i. The student had a previously controllable medical condition and that condition
has become unmanageable (e.g. asthma, seizures).
j. The student exhibits unusual pallor or a flushed face.
k. The student has an unknown rash.
l. The student has a strong offensive body odor suggestive of urine/fecal soiling or
hygiene concerns.
