The Standard Response Protocol (SRP) is a critical set of protocols in the safe and secure schools program and is the uniform response to any incident within the district. Used for weather events, fires, accidents, intruders and other threats to staff and student safety. Required drills and scenarios that are planned and trained for by school and district administration and staff reinforce the SRP and Campus emergency plan.
The SRP is based not on individual scenarios but on the response to any given situation. Like the Incident Command System (ICS), SRP demands a specific vocabulary but also allows for great flexibility. There are five specific actions that can be performed during an incident. When communicating these, the action is labeled with a "Term of Art" and is then followed by a "Directive." Execution of the action is performed by active participants, including students, staff, teachers and first responders.
