Kimberly Lewis is the Safety Coordinator for Montgomery Public Schools, responsible for aligning safety policies with state regulations for over 30,000 students. She collaborates with school administrators on Emergency Operations Plans and conducts safety drills for staff. The increasing number of threats in schools, particularly mental health crises, creates challenges for districts with resources and funding. There is a growing expectation for schools to provide safety education to all staff, including those in critical support roles. Lewis also organized an emergency evacuation drill to enhance preparedness and community resilience.
My role includes collaborating with school administrators to evaluate and implement each school's Emergency Operations Plan, coordinating annual emergency drills and leading district-wide safety training for staff.
As a result, there is a growing expectation to provide tailored safety education not only for teachers and administrators but also for previously underserved employee groups, such as Child Nutrition Program (CNP) staff, transportation personnel, and logistics teams.
