Our Commitment
Oak Ridge School District is committed to creating a safe and welcoming learning environment for students, families, staff and visitors. This page links to resources and partner organizations to help promote safety in our schools and in the community.
Safety Plans
Our district has an Emergency Operations Plan, we are part of the Anderson County Hazard Mitigation Plan, and we collaborate with Oak Ridge City and Anderson County Emergency Response Teams to support our schools in being prepared to respond to potential safety concerns. In addition, each school has an emergency response team that has created an emergency response plan to address the specific needs of each campus.
