School Safety and Security

In the event of an emergency, we have step-by-step procedures in place which include consistent and constant communication between Franklin administration and staff, Central Office personnel, Livonia Police Department, and (if necessary) county and state law enforcement agencies.  If an isolated or schoolwide emergency situation occurs, then LPS and FHS will send communications to our community as soon as possible with frequent updates. 

The following list represents emergency classifications in which our staff is trained:

  • Shelter in Place:   Remain inside the building. Continue instruction and passing time.                
  • EX: outside and/or away from building environmental hazard
  • Hold in Place:  Lock classroom doors. Continue instruction. Ignore passing time.                        
  • EX: medical emergency within the building
  • Lock Down:  Lock classroom doors. Discontinue instruction. Ignore passing time. Implement RUN-HIDE-FIGHT protocol with your students.                             
  • EX: potential and/or active violence
  • Evacuation/Fire 
  • Medical Emergency
  • Severe Weather/Tornado
