Emergency Response
Plano ISD adopted the Standard Response Protocol (SRP), a nationally-recognized emergency response methodology that is action-based, flexible, uniform response by staff, students and visitors to school-based emergencies.
About SRP
The "I Love U Guys Foundation" a non-profit organization, developed Standard Response Protocol for implementation within K-12 and university education settings. Texas School Safety Center (TxSSC), the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and the Governor of Texas endorse SRP. By standardizing the vocabulary, all stakeholders understand the response and status of the event.

Hold
Purpose
Hold quickly clears all hallways and allows school business to continue. It may be called during a medical emergency, urgent maintenance issue, or any situation requiring cleared halls.
Secure
Purpose
Secure utilizes the physical physical facility to keep out hazards or threats. All staff and students are brought in from outside and perimeter doors are secured. Secure allows school business to continue. Until released, no one enters or exits the building.
Lockdown
Purpose
Lockdown occurs when there is an active threat inside the building. Individual classrooms and offices are secured and occupants remain silent and out of site. Options include barricading doors or self-evacuation from the building.
Evacuate
Purpose
Evacuate occurs when students and staff must leave the building. Students and staff calmly transition to a predetermined evacuation assembly point(s). For hazards other than fire, the type of hazard and specific instructions are announced.
Shelter
Purpose
Shelter occurs when protection from tornados or hazardous materials is necessary. The Shelter Actions vary by hazard.
This includes but not limited to: severe weather-transition to shelter areas, haz-mat - close doors/windows, HVAC system off, Earthquake - duck & cover
