Today’s schools face challenges that go far beyond the classroom. The Michigan State Police School Safety Toolkits were created to support K–12 schools in building well-rounded safety plans. Each toolkit includes step-by-step planning tools, clearly defined roles and responsibilities, and proven strategies to help educators and administrators respond confidently and effectively in a range of situations. Together, they offer an integrated foundation for keeping school communities informed, prepared, and responsive.
When emergencies strike, timely, clear, and effective communication can make all the difference. School Crisis Communication Planning is a practical resource designed to help school leaders develop and implement messaging strategies that support safety, reduce confusion, and build trust during critical incidents. From weather emergencies to security threats, this toolkit walks you through crafting the plan, coordinating with emergency responders, assigning roles, and informing the school community. With worksheets, best practices, and messaging templates, it helps school staff navigate high-pressure situations with clarity and purpose.
From sports games to field trips and after-school performances, school events bring unique safety challenges that go beyond day-to-day operations. Emergency Preparedness for School Events is a hands-on toolkit designed to help educators and school leaders prepare for emergencies before, during, and after school-sponsored events, both on and off campus. It includes considerations for non-school-related events that take place on school property, ensuring safety remains a top priority in every situation. This resource provides guidance on roles, communication, coordination, and follow-up, giving staff the tools they need to develop clear, event-specific emergency plans. With checklists, planning templates, and real-world considerations, the guide helps prepare schools to respond effectively, no matter the setting.
