At MSD of Mt. Vernon, the safety of our students is our top priority. We are constantly evaluating our safety systems and protocols to ensure secure facilities across our five sites and our district office. 

Safety is a critical priority in Indiana’s public school system because it creates the foundation for effective teaching and learning. When students and staff feel secure, they are better able to focus on academics, personal growth, and positive social interactions. A strong culture of safety—whether through secure facilities, clear emergency procedures, or proactive mental health supports—helps prevent disruptions, reduces the risk of harm, and fosters trust among families and the community. In a state where schools serve as central hubs for both education and community engagement, maintaining safe environments ensures that every child has the opportunity to learn and thrive without fear, while also protecting educators who dedicate themselves to student success.
