School Safety
School safety is an important topic and is our top priority at Ozark School District. We have very strict procedures and policies in place to ensure all of our students and staff members are safe and secure while at school.
Here is a checklist of measures in place to keep students and staff safe:
- The District employs six school police officers
- The District has a school tip line for school-related situations
- Every school has a secure entry and visitor check-in procedure that includes identification badges for guests
- Increased awareness of maintaining secured entrances through the Stop the Prop initiative
- All schools have comprehensive emergency management plans
- Each school participates in quarterly emergency drills for intruders, tornadoes and fire
- School and community police officers regularly visit the school
- Increased training on mental health and behavioral risk assessment
