The Board of Education and the District’s Superintendent recognize their responsibility to provide students and staff with a safe and healthy learning environment. In keeping with this responsibility, the Superintendent directed the development of a Comprehensive District-Wide School Safety Health and Safety Plan.
After reviewing existing safety practices, the District Safety Committee recommended that individual shop safety activities be expanded and a new plan modeled after the Environmental and Occupational Health Science Institute’s (EOHSI) Safe School Project be developed.
Safe schools is a project supported by the New Jersey Department of Education, Office of vocational-Technical, Career and Innovative Programs, to assist schools in meeting environmental and occupational safety and health regulations and protecting students and staff from occupational injuries and illnesses.
The District-wide School Safety Plan is reviewed annually and updated on an as-needed basis. The Plan is contained in the District’s QAAR which is approved annually by the Board of Education prior to submission to the Office of the County Superintendent of Schools.
