SRP Action Spotlight: HOLD 🚪

Directive: "In your room or area. Clear the halls."

A Hold action is used when hallways need to stay clear, such as during a medical event or maintenance cleanup. Classroom instruction continues as usual behind locked doors, while hallways remain clear until the Hold is lifted.

Learn more about safety protocols at TCAPS and iloveuguys.org.

This week, TCAPS is launching a 6-week safety awareness campaign! 🏫 Protecting our students and staff begins with clear communication. That’s why we use the Standard Response Protocol (SRP), the official response framework recognized by the State of Michigan Office of School Safety.

Watch this quick video to see how the SRP works: https://youtu.be/jH-EY3yGZDs

The SRP uses shared, clear language built around 5 core actions: Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, and Shelter. Follow along over the next 5 weeks as we highlight each action!

Learn more at iloveuguys.org.
