Comprehensive School Safety Plan
Canyon High School
Prepared. Supportive. Safe.
Orange Unified schools develop and annually update a Comprehensive School Safety Plan tailored to the needs of each campus and community.
About the plan: Canyon High School’s plan supports emergency preparedness, a positive school climate, and compliance with California Education Code Sections 32280–32289 and OUSD Board Policy 0450.
What is a Comprehensive School Safety Plan?
A Comprehensive School Safety Plan, or CSSP, outlines how a school prepares for and responds to emergencies, promotes a safe school climate, and complies with state safety requirements. The plan is reviewed and updated annually by March 1 and presented at a public meeting for community input.
Key components include
- Assessment of school safety and crime
- Child abuse reporting procedures
- Disaster and emergency response procedures
- Earthquake and fire drill protocols
- Lockdown, evacuation, and shelter-in-place procedures
- Procedures for notifying staff of dangerous students
- Anti-discrimination and harassment policies
- Safe ingress and egress routes
How can families access safety-plan information?
Some portions of a school safety plan include specific emergency-response information that should not be broadly published. Limiting public access to those details helps protect the safety measures described in the plan.
Families and community members may access allowable information in the following ways:
- School Accountability Report Card: Review the SARC information available through the school or district.
- In-person review: Contact the Canyon High School office to request a review of allowable portions of the CSSP with the principal.
For questions or additional information, contact Canyon High School or the Orange Unified Student & Community Services Department.
