Safety Procedures
Cesar Chavez Upper Elementary Martin Campus takes seriously its commitment to safety. We adhere to local, state and federal guidelines in relationship to emergency preparation.
Pursuant to a change in the state law as of July 1, 2014, all schools must present a list of scheduled emergency drill requirements to our local county emergency management coordinator. We are also required to publicly document drills on our website within 30 days of completing each one. These dates will remain on the website for a minimum of three years.
School Safety Legislation - Public Act 12
The State of Michigan has enacted new legislation regarding how public schools report safety drills to the public. Schools are now required to run:
Fire Drills - A minimum of 5 fire drills are required each school year. Three (3) of the drills need to be held before December 1 and two (2) during the remainder of the school year.
Tornado/Severe Weather Drills - A minimum of two (2) tornado safety drills are required for each school year with one (1) conducted during March.
Lockdown Drills - A minimum of three (3) drills in which occupants are restricted to the interior of the building and the building is secure. One (1) of these drills needs to be conducted prior to December 1 and one (1) conducted after January 1. At least one (1) drill needs to be scheduled during lunch, recess or at another time when a significant number of the students are gathered not in a classroom. We are also required to publicly document drills on our website within five (5) days of completing each one. These dates will remain on the website for a minimum of three years.
