Student Safety

The safety and security of our students is of the utmost importance to us. We recognize that the first step to safety is prevention, and we ensure that safety plans are ready to be implemented if the need arises.

LeadAmerica has a comprehensive security plan in place. Our plans are regularly reviewed and updated. We receive input from former State Department and military personnel who serve as advisors to our organization and from current military and FBI officials with whom we have relationships. We also have solicited input from local, state and federal agencies.

We have emergency communications plans in place. These allow us to communicate with parents via telephone and our web site in the event of an emergency.

Our staff is trained and experienced. They each carry a 2-way radio that allows them to remain in constant contact with one another and with our on-site office. The on-site administrative staff is available 24-hours a day and regularly monitors local, national and world events.

Students wear identification badges at all times. Most of the time our students are under our direct supervision. This is true even when they are on field trips. Occasionally, when students are on their own for a short time, we utilize strict check-in and check-out procedures to ensure that students are properly accounted for.

Be assured that we place a high priority on the safety and well being of our students.
