Stand with Parkland – The National Association of Families for Safe Schools has released a series of five questions that families need to ask to ensure their children’s safety as the school year begins.

These questions are a starting point for an extended conversation that families should have with their children’s school officials, teachers, and administrators to understand how prepared a school is to address safety issues and how transparent a school is when they occur.

1. Does the school have an active shooter policy?
2. Does the school train all staff members for active shooter scenarios?
3. Does the school have a single point of entry (access control) during school hours?
4. Is there a way students and staff can report threats?
5. How are parents notified when a threat has been made to the school?
