Health and Safety Information

The K-State College of Education safety plan is an ongoing work in progress in order to continuously review and update the most current safety measures for the environment. The prevailing rule in any safety or crisis situation is communication, to trust one's instincts, exercise sound judgment based on an analysis of the event to the best of one's ability, exercise common sense, and to remain calm in order to provide leadership for those we are responsible.
