EMERGENCIES

The Superintendent or designee will develop District emergency response plans for each school, department, and other facilities in the District and will coordinate such plans with the local law enforcement, fire, medical and hospital authorities as necessary.  Training components for staff and students shall be included in the District's emergency response plans.

Emergency response plans are confidential and exempt from public disclosure.  The District shall not release emergency response plans to the public as part of a public records request.  [A.R.S. 41-1803(G)]

The plans will be in accordance with minimum standards developed jointly by the Department of Education and the Division of Emergency Management within the Department of Emergency and Military Affairs.  The plans will designate specific emergency drills to be conducted.  Local responders shall periodically be invited to review the plan(s).

Emergency plans developed by the Superintendent or the Superintendent's designee will be presented annually to the Board and are required to address how the school and emergency responders will communicate with and provide assistance to students with disabilities.

Internal regulations will be developed and maintained by the Superintendent.
