The Tredyffrin/Easttown School District is committed to
the safety of its students and employees, and is engaged in initiatives
to enhance its current safety program. The District contracted with
U.S. Security Care of Blue Bell, PA to conduct a safety audit of the
District’s eight school buildings, education services center, and the
maintenance building. The goals of this audit in the face of potentially
violent incidents included deterrence, detection, delay, response/investigation,
and consequences to unacceptable behavior. The scope of the work included
physical security surveys, interviews with designated employees, parents
and students, and the review of existing policies and procedures. The
District has both a District Safety Plan and building-level safety plans
that address prevention, including the fostering of a healthy school
climate, intervention, the response to incidents that compromise school
safety and security, and postvention, procedures to implement after
certain kinds of incidents. The District safety committee’s members
include parents, a school board liaison, teachers, students, administrators,
representatives of the Tredyffrin and Easttown Police Departments, and
a member of Town Watch.
