Robbinsdale Schools Uses Standard Response Protocol for Safety

Meeting date: Aug 14, 2025
Published Sep 8, 2025

Robbinsdale Area Schools has implemented the Standard Response Protocol, a comprehensive safety system used by more than 45,000 schools worldwide, according to an educational presentation about the district's emergency procedures.

The protocol, created by the I Love U Guys Foundation, establishes five specific emergency response actions: hold, secure, lockdown, evacuate and severe weather shelter. Each action carries detailed instructions for students and staff during different types of incidents.

The most common action is "hold," used when something is happening in hallways or building areas that requires students to remain in classrooms until resolved. This could include medical emergencies involving students or staff. During a hold, teachers lock classroom doors, take attendance and continue instruction until receiving an all-clear signal.

A "lockdown" represents the most serious response, implemented when a threat exists inside the school building. During lockdowns, all building access is restricted, lights are turned off, and occupants remain silent in locked rooms until law enforcement and school administrators determine it is safe to release areas.

The district coordinates with local law enforcement and emergency responders who also understand the Standard Response Protocol procedures. The system was developed using research-based practices from school administrators, psychologists, safety experts, families and first responders.
