Las Vegas, NV – A disturbing discovery has come to light, as state officials identified seven schools in the Las Vegas valley lacking approved emergency safety plans. These plans, crucial for ensuring the safety of students and staff, outline responses to critical situations like fights, school shootings, and bomb threats.

The Need for Prepared Action:

  • State Public Charter School Authority Director Melissa Mackedon voiced her concern, highlighting the “negligence” and “embarrassment” of these schools neglecting such vital plans.
  • With rising incidents of school violence, having comprehensive emergency response procedures is paramount.

Schools Identified and Responses:

  • Primrose Schools: Franchise owner Jaini Jariwala asserts full compliance with licensing requirements, including emergency plan submission. However, further clarification is needed.
  • Innovations International Charter School of Nevada (Sahara Campus): School officials maintain their plan is submitted and available online. Documentation confirms its approval in June 2023.

Unanswered Questions and Next Steps:
