The safety of our students and staff at all buildings is our highest priority. Our guiding philosophy for school safety for the Stoughton Public Schools is shaped by a common sense approach: 

• We trust our staff to make life-saving decisions.

• Doing something is better than doing nothing.

• Consistent training exercises help to make our buildings safe and build a mindset within staff to take action, if needed.

The most important components of our school safety plan include:

• Threat assessment teams at each school.

• Reviewing security features in all of our buildings. 

• Following ALICE protocols.
