Pacific Grove Unified School District

Each Safe School Plan contains immediate crisis response protocols for a variety of emergencies including active-shooter events.  They are updated annually by the site Safe School Committee, vetted through the school site council and presented to the Monterey County Office of Education on the first of March each year. 

 

 

These are known as THE BIG FIVE, School Emergency Guidelines.  These guidelines are posted in every classroom and in the front office of each school site. 

 

 

RUN, HIDE, FIGHT: All teachers and administrators have been trained on strategies and procedures in case of an armed intruder. Beginning 2019 school year, this training along with BIG FIVE and School Emergency Guidelines will be expanded to support staff and substitute teachers.

Pacific Grove Police Department School Resource Officer (SRO): Pacific Grove Police Department coordinates and collaborates with PGUSD to assign one SRO to monitor all district school sites. The SRO is trained to work proactively with students and staff. Patrol officers also visit our schools as time allows to build relationships with students and staff.

 

CPR and First Aid: Designated staff at each site is trained in life-saving techniques. In addition, PGUSD employs a district nurse, who offers training in CPR/First Aid each year.

 

Surveillance: Cameras are located in strategic positions inside and outside of our district buildings.
