Standard Response Protocols

Local Law Enforcement Agencies, the 野花社区视频 ISD Police Department, and the Department of Safety and Security use the SRP to ensure all processes are aligned and all language is similar when responding to emergency situations, whether it is at the campus or an alternate location.

Some things to consider:
- WHAT IF A PARENT CAN’T PICK-UP THEIR STUDENT?
- When a parent can’t immediately go to the reunification site, students will only be released to individuals previously identified as a student’s emergency contact. Otherwise, the school will hold students until parents can pick up their student.
- WHAT IF THE STUDENT DROVE TO SCHOOL?
- There may be instances where a student may not be allowed to remove a vehicle from the parking lot. In this case, parents are advised to recover the student. In some circumstances, high school students may be released on their own.
