Review of Violence Prevention at the Miccosukee Indian School

We conducted an inspection of the Miccosukee Indian School, located on the Tamiami Trail Reservation in Miami, FL, to determine the quality of safety measures in place to prevent violence against students and staff from internal and external threats. We found Miccosukee Indian School’s safety measures to be comprehensive. 

 

Specifically, the Miccosukee Indian School’s comprehensive emergency plan contained all five topics we chose to review. In addition, training on violence prevention and emergency preparedness was provided to both staff and students. Further, school personnel were able to successfully run both lock-down and evacuation drills during our visit on February 14, 2014.  

 

Finally, of the 18 safety measures we checked for, Miccosukee Indian School did not have 3 in place. While no single safety measure is so critical that its absence at an educational facility is cause for immediate concern, we found that the more safety measures not in place, the less prepared the school is to respond to an incident. 

 

We did not provide any recommendations in this report.
