Comprehensive School Safety and Emergency Safety Plans

Student and staff safety is of paramount concern in the Turlock Unified School District. Through a collection of Board of Trustee policies, TUSD established procedures for the safety of students, parents, and employees. All schools in TUSD have Comprehensive School Safety Plans and site Emergency Safety Plans. The emergency plans are reviewed and updated annually by the school sites and approved by the Board of Trustees. Each site conducts drills each year to review the procedures and practices.
