As a result of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act a number of safety
measures have been put into place in Pinellas County Schools which will result in changes to the
daily operations at Kings Highway Elementary Magnet School.

• All staff will be participating in safety training before students begin school. We will
  continue with safety training throughout the school year.
• Safety drills will take place monthly.
• Joining our staff will be Safety Security Officer (SSO), Timothy O'Sullivan.
• Our school office will be equipped with secure storefront glass.
• All classroom doors will remain locked and latched when students are present and class
  is in session.
•  All exterior gates will remain locked during school hours. The exception being the main
  visitor parking gates to permit visitors access during the days.
• All visitors must be cleared to enter the secure area of the school through Badge Pass.
• Visitors who do not have a Jessica Lunsford Act (JSA) Level 2 clearance must be escorted
  by school personnel at all times while on campus.
• When you have a scheduled parent conference, the teacher will meet you in the office
  and escort you to the classroom or to a school conference room.

Thank you for understanding that, while this may be an inconvenience, our first and most
important priority is to keep your children safe.

Please feel free to visit the district’s safety website for further information regarding school
safety and to keep updated on the many aspects in school safety policy and procedures:
