STANDARDIZED RESPONSE PROTOCOL (SRP) On September 27th, 2006 a gunman entered Platte Canyon High School, held seven girls hostage and ultimately shot and killed student, Emily Keyes. During the time she was held hostage, Emily sent her parents these text messages: "I love you guys" and "I love u guys. k?" Emily's kindness, spirit, fierce joy, and the dignity and grace shown by the Keyes family following this tragic event define the core of The "I Love U Guys" Foundation. Mission The "I Love U Guys" Foundation was created to restore and protect the joy of youth through educational programs and positive actions in collaboration with families, schools, communities, organizations and government entities. Coppell ISD has been utilizing SRP since 2011.
STANDARDIZED RESPONSE PROTOCOL (SRP) The Standard Response Protocol (SRP) is based not on individual scenarios but on the response to any given situation.
SHELTER! Shelter is always followed by a type and a method and is the protocol for group and self protection. Generally used for weather issues, earthquakes, or hazmat situations. In a real weather emergency, the schools are much safer than your homes or vehicles. Please allow your child to remain on campus until the weather event is no longer a threat.
EVACUATE! Evacuate is always followed by a location, and is used to move students and staff from one location to a different location in or out of the building. We can evacuate for many reasons; fire hazard, safety hazard, biohazard.
LOCKOUT! Lockout is followed by the Directive: "Secure the Perimeter" and is the protocol used to safeguard students and staff within the building. The potential threat is located outside of the campus. It could be a person (shooter in the area), a situation (a traffic stop where an arrest is made or a robbery in progress at a close business), or an animal. The exterior doors will remain locked and secure, and the school will conduct business as usual.
LOCKDOWN! Lockdown is followed by "Locks, Lights, Out of Sight" and is the protocol used to secure individual rooms and keep students quiet and in place. The threat is inside the building. Exterior doors will be secured allowing no one to enter the building. Inside, students, staffs, and visitors will be in a locked room, with the lights out, and will remain out of sight. It works. Coppell ISD runs 4 lockdown drills at EACH campus every year, and 2 at CHS.
IN A REAL EMERGENCY Please follow/like Coppell ISD, Coppell PD, and Coppell FD on Facebook and Twitter. Coppell PD also has a Community Liaison Officer, Peter Dirks, on Facebook. This is the fastest way to disseminate real time information to the masses. Any major event will be pushed out via these pages.

SUGGESTIONS FOR PARENTS Discover the Internet together, but prescreen what you choose to allow your student to view. Agree with your child rules for Internet use in your home. Limit time/usage/location of computer. Encourage your child to be careful when disclosing personal information. Have them make their social media accounts private, and to only allow users that they actually know personally. Talk about the risks associated with meeting online friends in person. How easy is it?
MORE TIPS Teach your child about evaluating information and being critically aware of information found online. <Gun threat> Report online material you may consider illegal to the appropriate authorities. Encourage respect for others; stamp out cyberbullying. Let your children show you what they like to do online. Remember that the positive aspects of the Internet outweigh the negatives.
