K-12 Facility Safety and Security Audit Checklist
by Brian Kelly, from the Community
This comprehensive K-12 district facility safety and security audit checklist helps schools evaluate campus risks and readiness across buildings, grounds, transportation, and events. It covers visitor management, access control, key control, buses and parking, monitoring and surveillance, school-based law enforcement, and securing facilities after hours. Instructional areas are assessed including classrooms, cafeterias, gyms, locker rooms, science labs, and vocational shops. The checklist guides emergency drills, communications, health practices, and student climate, plus transportation, maintenance, and stadium operations. It also supports developing a NIMS/ICS-compliant Emergency Operations Plan with site and floor plans, roles, and procedures. Customize to your district and document findings for continuous improvement.
