Student & Campus Safety 

At Folsom Cordova Unified School District, the safety and well-being of every student and staff member is our highest priority. We are committed to providing safe, secure, and supportive learning environments where students can learn, grow, and thrive. FCUSD continually reviews its procedures, practices, and resources to strengthen school safety and foster a safe learning environment for all students. Through proactive planning, emergency preparedness, and strong partnerships with families, staff, and first responders, we work every day to ensure our campuses remain safe, welcoming, and ready to respond.

FCUSD’s commitment to student safety is also reflected in Board Policy 5142 – Safety, which outlines the District’s responsibility to maintain safe school environments for all students.

Prevention & Student Support

FCUSD is committed to creating positive, inclusive, and supportive learning environments where every student feels safe, respected, and connected. Through prevention, education, early intervention, and access to trusted resources, we partner with students, families, and the community to promote student well-being and help prevent safety concerns before they occur.

Student E-Transportation Safety

Getting to and from school safely is an important part of every student's day. As more students choose to ride e-bikes, e-scooters, and other motorized transportation devices, it is important to understand California laws, practice safe riding habits, and wear appropriate safety equipment.

The information below provides guidance on California laws, FCUSD expectations, and safe riding practices to help students make informed and responsible decisions while traveling to and from school.

Emergency Preparedness

The safety of our students and staff depends on being prepared. FCUSD maintains comprehensive emergency plans, conducts regular safety drills, utilizes emergency communication systems, and coordinates with first responders to help ensure a timely and effective response during emergencies. The information below explains the procedures and resources used to help keep our school communities safe.

Preventing bullying is a shared responsibility among students, families, staff, and the community. Through education, a positive school culture, and student leadership programs, FCUSD works proactively to prevent bullying.
