Standard Response Protocol

Creating a safer school climate for our students is our top priority. A critical factor in creating a safer environment is classroom response to an incident at school.  In partnership with first responders, we plan and train for weather events, fire, accidents, intruders and other threats. 

Hood River County School District, in collaboration with the Hood River County Sheriff’s Office, Hood River Police, and Hood River Fire and Rescue, has implemented the Standard Response Protocol (SRP).  

The SRP is not based on one individual scenario but on the response to any given scenario. It uses the same standard language as all first responders use. The protocol allows for a predictable series of actions as an unpredictable event unfolds.

The SRP is based upon four actions: Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate and Shelter. Each has specific staff and student directives that are unique to the action.
