The Boulder Valley School District is committed to the safety and security of each of the more than 30,000 students and staff using our facilities each day.  This web area is intended to highlight the strategies in place to meet that commitment.
 
The Boulder Valley School District has a Crisis Management Plan in place, based on the National Incident Command System recommended by the United States Homeland Security Agency (HSA) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Each school also has a plan in place, based on the same HSA and FEMA recommendations and best thinking. Please follow this link to read the BVSD Crisis Management Plan overview.

Boulder Valley School District continues to have a positive relationship with the agencies responsible for public safety in our communities. These agencies include the Boulder County and Broomfield County Office of Emergency Management, local law enforcement agencies, and local fire departments. Our Crisis Management Plans are, through these collaborative relationships, updated as needed to reflect the latest best practices.

In an effort to enhance opportunities to prevent school violence, BVSD is also participates in the highly-regarded Safe2Tell program. This program was developed as a result of safe schools plans created through Safe Communities~Safe Schools – a joint effort of the Colorado Trust and the Center for the Study of the Prevention of Violence at the University of Colorado at Boulder. These plans, along with the recommendation for a hot line from the Columbine Commission and the Colorado Attorney General, led The Colorado Trust to fund Safe2Tell.
