Readiness and Emergency Management (REM) School Safety Plans provide the framework for a school to identify and implement appropriate strategies to maintain compliance and create a safe and secure learning environment for all students and staff.

For annual compliance, all schools are required to review each section and make updates in both the Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) and Vital Information Packet (VIP) by August 23, 2024.  When reviewing sections, please ensure that your plans include all the required information for each section as outlined in the EOP and VIP template. PLEASE NOTE: Each section of the plans should have an August 2024 “Record of Change” date in the Previstar System.
