School Safety Compliance – How can OSCR360 assist with NY Section 155.17?

Blog / By / November 1, 2024 / 5 minutes of reading

In July of 2024, New York State implemented NYCRR Section 155.17 which addresses school safety. This document covers dozens of potential scenarios and outlines the responsibilities of New York school districts in the development of district-wide school safety plans and building level emergency response plans.

The OSCR360 system (which fluidly combines imagery, mapping and documentation) was built as a multi-purpose tool to assist districts in creating, organizing and sharing their school safety plans. This helps districts to remain in compliance with Section 155.17. OSCR360 improves the processes of creating safety plans, training for unexpected incidents and responding to school emergencies.

During the SRP Action: lockdown, individual rooms are to be secured, and students are to stay quiet and hidden.

The Lockdown action is typically followed by the directive “Locks. Lights. Out of Sight.”

Lockdowns are issued when student and staff safety is threatened inside of the school building. Students and staff are to lock or barricade themselves within the room and hide quietly until help arrives to safely release them.

OSCR360 can be implemented into your school’s emergency plans. See how the system can assist with planning and training for a school lockdown.

The SRP Action: Secure is followed by the directive “Get inside. Lock outside doors.”

When the secure directive is issued, it indicates that there is a potential danger outside of the school building. The intention is to safeguard students within the confines of the locked school. All students and staff are to go inside, and the exterior doors of the school building are locked. There are typically few, if any, changes to the normal happenings within the school building during this type of temporary threat.

The Standard Response Protocol originated in 2009 with a simple, yet clear, mission: Keep schools safe.

The SRP focuses on providing uniformity and consistency for responding to any – and every – type of hazardous scenario. As part of a school district’s broader emergency plan, the SRP promotes the use of both common language and common expectations when teaching and training students, staff, and first responders on emergency protocols.

The Standard Response Protocol (SRP) was developed to provide common language, training and expectations that students, teachers and first responders should use during any crisis situation. The Protocol is created from research-based best practices and provides a familiar, rehearsed approach to all types of hazards and emergency scenarios. This includes everything from natural disasters and fires to active shooter threats, or potential danger in the vicinity of the school district, and more.
