³¬¼¶µõÖÓÄÌ-Wide Emergency Plan

Each school year, the ³¬¼¶µõÖÓÄÌ Board of Education approves a ³¬¼¶µõÖÓÄÌ-Wide Safety Plan. The 2025-2026 plan was approved by the board on August 19, 2025. To comply with Desha’s Law, which will be implemented in January 2026, the district has updated its ³¬¼¶µõÖÓÄÌ-Wide Safety Plan.

The draft plan is open for public review and comments for a period of 30 days. Parents and community members can review the new draft plan online here.

The Liverpool Central ³¬¼¶µõÖÓÄÌ has a ³¬¼¶µõÖÓÄÌ-Wide Safety Plan in place to address student and staff safety issues. The plan would be activated in the event of a local disaster or school emergency. 

As part of its ³¬¼¶µõÖÓÄÌ-Wide Safety Plan, the district has a designated chief emergency officer who is responsible for coordinating communication between staff, law enforcement and first responders to ensure staff understanding of the district-level safety plan. The chief emergency officer also will be responsible for communicating details to staff during an emergency. 

Also, in the event of an emergency, the district’s school information officer will be responsible for disseminating information to the public by communicating with local media and the community. Several communication methods are available to the district and will be utilized as appropriate. Such methods include text, email and telephone alerts, Web site updates, social media messages and media announcements. 

The district’s mass communication system, ParentSquare, utilizes the student/parent/guardian information stored in SchoolTool. Therefore, it is imperative that parents and guardians ensure that their contact information is correct in SchoolTool. Whenever your contact information changes, be sure to contact your child’s school immediately to update your information to ensure that you receive emergency communications from the district. If a student's home address changes, please contact the district's registration office at (315) 622-7193. 

Emergency Response Plans
The ³¬¼¶µõÖÓÄÌ-Wide Safety Plan is directly linked to individual building-level Emergency Response Plans for each school. Protocols reflected in the ³¬¼¶µõÖÓÄÌ-Wide Safety Plan guide the development and implementation of individual Building-level Emergency Response Plans. All information pertaining to an emergency or violent incident will be directed to either the building principal or designee. Upon the activation of Building-Level Emergency Response procedures, the Superintendent of Schools or his/her designee is notified and, where appropriate, local emergency officials are also notified. The Building-Level Emergency Response Teams are activated to support an appropriate response to an emergency and play a central role in overall planning for responses to emergencies at the building level. Efforts may be supplemented by county and state resources through existing protocols when needed.

Once the final plan is approved and adopted, the link will be posted to this website.
