Our Mission
Leon County Schools will create, maintain, and enhance the physical and emotional safety of all students and staff and combine the use of technology and personnel to ensure the safety and protection of our schools and work sites.
As part of our mission, we have created the LCS Safe Schools Initiative.
At Leon County Schools, the safety of our students and employees always comes first. We use a comprehensive approach to safety and security, focusing on proactive and preventative strategies to ensure safety for all. In the district’s ongoing, innovative efforts to put school safety at the forefront, LCS has launched the Safe Schools initiative.
Below is a list of programs the district implemented to support the safety and security at our school sites. Each program sets the stage for ensuring that the district is prepared for any situation that may arise. The programs will strengthen existing safety and prevention measures and protocols and will enhance communication between students, families, their schools and the community.
What Can Parents Do?
Just as the district and schools have safety plans that we review and update regularly, parents need to review their emergency plans.
- Be sure that updated emergency contact information is on file in your child's school. This is particularly important if you have had a change in phone numbers.
- Be sure you know what radio/tv stations to listen to for emergency information.
- Be sure the school has the current information about your caregiver.
- Be sure your child knows what to do/where to go if there is an emergency and no one is at home.
- Be sure your child knows how to reach you at all times.
- Be sure your child knows what to do if he/she comes home early. Should your child call you or someone else to let you know?
- If your child has lost the key to the house and can't get in, what should he/she do?
- Talk to your child about personal safety.
- Teach your child how to recognize danger signals.
- Make sure your child knows the sounds of smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, fire alarms, and sirens. Be sure your child knows what to do when he/she hears these at home or in a public location.
