The Portland Public Schools is committed to the safety and welfare of our students, our staff and visitors in our schools. To ensure that everyone is prepared in the event of an emergency, the district is enhancing its procedures, frameworks and training related to student and staff safety. Our multilayered approach, outlined in our School Safety and Prevention Frameworks, aims to support a more comprehensive approach to ensuring safety, increasing efficiency and effectiveness of staff responses when issues arise, and ensuring compliance with state and local policy. In our safety planning and procedures, the Portland Public Schools works closely and collaboratively with the Portland Police Department.
