As a nation, we have all been felt the powers of the horrible terrorist activities of foreign and domestic terrorists. These tragedies, along with with war, the imminent threat of terrorist acts and occasional school shootings, have generated great concern of, for and about safety in our schools. These concerns affect everyone-- school personnel, students, parents and community members. The Waterford School District is "ahead of the curve" when it comes to preventative and precautionary safety and security measures. In Waterford, we have a safety and security cabinet whose members meet monthly to review safety and security practices in our schools. Additionally, this cabinet meets quarterly with the Waterford Police and Fire Departments and the White Lake Police and Fire Departments to ensure the safety and security of our students.

The safety and security of our students and staff is of paramount importance to our Board of Education, administration, staff, parents, students and community. A major goal and strategy for the Waterford School District Board of Education and administration is that we will have safe, positive, disciplined and drug-free schools. Our main priority is that students in our schools will obtain the best possible education while learning in a safe, constructive environment.
