Emergency, Safety, and
Security Services at the Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) is one of the many
functional areas under the administrative leadership of Chief of Operations
Karen Devet.
Jason Matlock is Director of
MPS Emergency, Safety, and Security Services.
Here I give information
pertinent to MPS emergency, Safety, and Security Services as found on the
relevant MPS website:
MPS Emergency Management,
Safety, and Security
We are committed to supporting
safe and welcoming learning and work environments for students and staff in
Minneapolis Public Schools. Through our
work we are improving the district’s ability to respond to emergencies no
matter how large or small. For more
information about how we respond to emergencies, view our Parent’s Guide to What We Do.
The Mps emergency plan
addresses the four areas of crisis management:
Prevention/mitigation,
preparedness, response, and recovery.
The plan considers the needs of all students and staff. There is also special planning for students
with disabilities and those learning English.
The MPS emergency management
plan has been developed with help from the City of Minneapolis Office of
Emergency Preparedness and the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, and
Homeland Security. Staff members have
and will continue to receive training in emergency related procedures, with
mandated drills and exercises being essential parts of planning.
All MPS sites have their own
site-specific emergency plan and trained Site Emergency Team (SET) members who
continue to receive additional training on a monthly basis. The SET members are training staff within
their sites on these emergency procedure and planning.
The goal is to institutionalize emergency
planning into the day-to-day operations and management of each school and
administrative site in the district.
