Spearman ISD has adopted the Standard Response Protocol (SRP) and the Standard Reunification Method (SRM) which are nationally-recognized, proven methodologies that ensure a uniform response by faculty, staff and students to school-based emergencies. Spearman ISD utilizes Raptor Alert silent panic alert technology in coordination with the SRP and SRM methods to expedite and streamline emergency response by allowing users to initiate an alert directly through 911 and provide critical information to first responders, law enforcement, and campus personnel.

The Standard Response Protocol has been developed for implementation within K-12 and university education settings by the "I Love U Guys" Foundation, a Colorado-based non-profit organization committed to student safety.  The SRP has been endorsed by the Texas School Safety Center (TxSSC), the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and the office of the Governor for the State of Texas.

Administrators, campus staff and students are trained each school year on SRP and conduct SRP-based emergency drills each semester, as well as state-mandated fire drills, to reinforce emergency preparedness. While SRP is not a replacement for school safety plans or programs, it standardizes Spearman ISD's approach to emergency management by providing for consistent terminology and response actions during an emergency.

The SRP is all-hazard in nature, meaning it is not based on individual scenarios, but rather on the response to any given scenario.  The most significant benefit of the SRP is the standard language used by teachers, students, parents, staff and first responders.  The protocol also allows for a predictable series of actions as an incident unfolds.  The SRO is based upon five actions:  Lockdown, Secure, Evacuate, Shelter and Hold.  Each action provides specific staff and student directives that are unique to the action.

A critical aspect of crisis response is accountable reunification of students with their parents or guardians in the event of a school crisis or emergency. The Standard Reunification Method provides school and district safety teams with proven methods for planning, practicing and achieving a successful reunification. Spearman ISD uses Raptor Alert technology as a valuable tool in facilitating the Standard Reunification Method. All staff members are able to account for student, staff and visitor status and location in the app and identify parents and guardians through a daily sync with the district Student Information System (SIS).
