Description

The 2012 school shootings in Newtown, CT and the 2013 tornado in Moore, OK stress the need for schools to prepare for emergencies to help protect the 50 million students in K-12 public schools. In 2007, GAO found that most districts developed emergency operations plans and GAO made recommendations to improve school emergency planning. In 2013, the President directed the Departments of Education, Homeland Security (DHS), Health and Human Services (HHS), and Justice (DOJ) to help schools with their plans. This report examines (1) how federal agencies support school emergency management planning and the extent to which they coordinate efforts; (2) the extent to which states require and support efforts to plan for school emergencies; and (3) what districts have done to plan and prepare for school emergencies and challenges faced. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
