Emergency Response Plan
This Emergency Response Plan has been developed to help school administrators prepare for the many aspects of responding to a critical incident involving their schools and/or student/teacher populations.
Shelton School District (SSD) is committed to providing safe and effective learning environments for every child and staff person. Unexpected emergencies may occur, however, the likelihood of effectively managing an emergency is increased with an established emergency plan. The purpose of the Emergency Response Plan is to maximize the safety and welfare of all students, visitors, and staff by promoting emergency preparedness county-wide.
