Administrator Responsibilities

Administrators are responsible for developing an overall safety plan, communicating that plan to staff, conducting regular drills for staff and students, and taking the lead role in emergencies. In particular, administrators are expected to:

  •  Take the lead role in emergency situations, including making the announcement that emergency procedures should be initiated, and giving the “All Clear” signal when the emergency situation has passed. Follow SPPS Emergency Communications Procedures and Responsibilities in emergency situations.
  • Organize and conduct safety drills, including helping staff think through a variety of scenarios—i.e. a blocked escape route.
