REPORTING PROCEDURES FOR EMERGENCY SITUATIONS Definition. An emergency situation is any incident that poses a threat to human health or safety or which may result in serious property damage. A teacher or other employee having knowledge of any emergency situation shall immediately notify or cause to be notified both the WESTFORD POLICE DEPARTMENT (911) and the School Principal or Assistant Principal. This requirement is in addition to any procedures outlined in the student handbook. Where an emergency exists and there is an immediate need to avert or defuse certain unusual conditions or disruptions in the school setting, the school will provide all necessary information to law enforcement personnel regarding the student at issue. (See § 99.31(a) (10) of the FERPA regulations.)
