ENSURE EVERY SCH OOL HAS A COMPREHENSI VE EMERGENC Y
MANA GEMEN T PLAN
In the unthinkable event of another school shooting, it is essential that schools have in place effective
and reliable plans to respond. A 2010 survey found that while 84 percent of public schools had a
written response plan in the event of a shooting, only 52 percent had drilled their students on the plan
in the past year. We must ensure that every school has a high-quality plan in place and that students
and staff are prepared to follow it.
