Comprehensive Plan In Schools

Comprehensive Plan

The educational sector in schools are often faced with the lack of supervision, whether it is due to non-compliance of rules, misunderstanding of rules and policies, or simply not being attentive to students. Whatever the reasons are for the lack of supervision, it is unacceptable and there should be a comprehensive plan in place to promote safety. Based on recent research and strategic analyses of a school along with reviews of literature, the development of a comprehensive plan was created to provide school staff, students, and visitors with a safe and secure environment. This paper will give in-depth information on this plan to align with case law.

The students will sign-in on their specific grade roster as it is passed amongst grade levels, to maintain accountability for students. Once all students have signed-in, one designated student will bring the roster to one of the teachers. Students that arrive after this time, but before the bell rings will have to be escorted by the parent to the gym and signed-in for accountability. The students will sit inside of the gym on the floor according to grade levels along the front and two side walls. The students will have reading materials at each grade level or reading content of their own to silently read until the bell rings at 8:20am. Staff members’ location will be in the center area of gym. One teacher facing the front and right side of gym and the other teacher the opposite direction with eye sight of students around the front and side peripheral of the gym, so that they can maintain close supervision of their area. Once, the bell rings students will be dismissed promptly according to grade level to breakfast and
