The safety committee at Buljan Middle School developed a Comprehensive School Site Safety Plan outlining the procedures to be followed in the event of an emergency affecting the school site.  The plan included procedures for coordinating resources to respond to any emergency including natural disasters, environmental health issues, accidents, or intruders.  Staff have been assigned roles and trained to work efficiently with each other and with other public service officers to ensure the safety of students and staff.  All students and staff members are routinely drilled throughout the school year on a monthly basis the various procedures outlined in the safety plan.  The Comprehensive School Site Plan was reviewed and approved by the Buljan School Site Council in October of 2006. 
 

Each teacher is responsible for developing a classroom management plan, which reinforces positive behavior and holds students accountable for negative behavior in a fair, consistent, and progressive manner.  The management plans include provisions for parent contact/conferences, after school detention, assigning of demerits, and referrals to the Assistant Principals or Counselor.  Students who have exemplified outstanding behavior and/or attitude are recognized by staff through the distribution of Doghouse coupons which are redeemable at the student store for treats, Student of the Month nominations where the winners receive a free breakfast at a local restaurant, a T-shirt and certificate, Spirit Points are accumulated in order to participate in the Spirit Point field trip, certificates for special recognition and Character education Awards.

The district governing board has adopted cleaning standards for all schools in the district.  A summary of these standards is available at the school office, and the district office.  The administration works daily with the custodial staff to ensure a clean and safe school.  Ongoing School Safety Plan updates and trainings enable the staff to keep students safe on school grounds before, during, and after school.  A safe and clean environment promotes the effective teaching and enhanced student academics at George A.
