Standard Response Protocol:

 

Franklin ISD still has an extensive emergency preparedness plan in place that trains staff in safety and security for their campus. FISD has also adopted the Standard Response Protocol (SRP), “i love you guys,” which focuses on the classroom response to an incident at school.

The program is based on four actions that can be used in a variety of events.  SRP standardizes the vocabulary so all stakeholders can understand the response and status of the event. For students, this provides continuity of expectations and actions throughout their educational career. For teachers, this becomes a simpler process to train and drill. For first responders, the common vocabulary and protocols establish a greater predictability that persists through the duration of an incident. Parents can easily understand the practices and can reinforce the protocol. Additionally, this protocol enables rapid response determination when an unforeseen event occurs, and allows for a more predictable series of actions as an event unfolds.

Anonymous Reporting:

 

Use FISD Tip Line to report incidents of bullying, cyberbullying, threats or mental health concerns.

All of us have a part in keeping each other safe. Students can use Anonymous Reporting to alert campus staff if a student is a harm to self or others. In addition, if you or someone else is being bullied/cyber bullied, you can report it, and thanks to the passage of Senate Bill 179, also known as David’s Law, it makes it a Class A misdemeanor to electronically harass or cyberbully someone under age 18 through text message, social media, website or other means.

If a student believes they are a victim of cyberbullying or if a teacher, administrator, or other school personnel know about an incident of cyberbullying, they can report it using the District’s Anonymous Reporting incident reporting system. Anonymous Reporting allows for anonymous reporting and provides immunity to those who file a report.
