"I Love U Guys" Foundation's Standard Response Protocol
Fulton Public Schools has adopted the "I Love U Guys" Foundation's Standard Response Protocol (SRP) as part of our district wide emergency operations plan.
The SRP is based on an all-hazards approach as opposed to individual scenarios. SRP utilizes clear common language while allowing for flexibility in protocol.
The premise is simple - there are five specific actions that can be performed during an incident. Execution of the action is performed by active participants, including students, staff, teachers and first responders. The SRP is based on the following actions: Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, and Shelter.
