Safety and Security
Keeping schools safe
We work hard to maintain the security of our schools so that teaching and learning can flourish.
Creating safe environments is a complex effort that includes:
- District resource officers
- Security cameras
- Controlled access to building and/or entrance monitoring
- Visitor management system
- Staff training and drills
- Positive school cultures
The district also is a member of the Clark County Safe Schools Task Force, a regional group that collaborates to improve school safety. It’s just one more way that we work to protect the people of Vancouver Public Schools.
