Emergency Preparedness by developing and practicing emergency plans for various scenarios, such as fires, lockdowns, and natural disasters.

Student Safety by addressing issues such as bullying, harassment, and violence prevention.
Collaboration with Law Enforcement by working closely with local police and other agencies to ensure coordinated response to safety concerns.
