LAUSD schools are required to comply with California Education Code (CEC), Section §32286(a), dealing with the preparation of "safe school plans." These plans address violence prevention, emergency preparedness, traffic safety and crisis intervention. The District has developed the Model Safe School Plan (SSP) for use as a template in the preparation of safe school plans for each of the District's 900 schools. The purpose of the template is to standardize safe school plans throughout the District and minimize the time required for annual updates. The Safe School Plan is comprised of two volumes Volume 1 - Prevention Programs and Volume 2 - Emergency Procedures.

Volume 1, now named "Coordinated Safe and Healthy School Plan, Volume 1 - Prevention Programs," deals with violence prevention, traffic safety and crisis intervention. Volume 1 is a combination of multiple legislative and Board policies; one of which is the requirement by the Child Nutrition and Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Reauthorization Act of 2004 that requires our District to have a Policy on Wellness (Spanish).  Our District also created the Blueprint For Wellness (*.pdf) (Spanish) that serves as a guiding document on creating wellness in our District and at our school sites.  Administrators should review the Reference Guide - 1242.4 (*.pdf).  for information on updating their Safe School Plan, Volume 1.

The Coordinated Safe and Healthy School Plan, Volume 1 – Prevention Programs template for the 2008-09 school year is not yet available. Please check back in July 2008.
