DENVER — According to a report, Colorado schools and child care providers meet emergency-planning standards.

Denver Public Schools administrators say they have measures in place to keep students safe after Colorado received a “satisfactory” report card from Save the Children, a nonprofit group that looks at disaster preparedness.

NOTE: An earlier version of this story said Colorado schools received an “unsatisfactory” report card, but the Save the Children website was updated to show Colorado schools were satisfactory.

Colorado received passing grades in the four categories that were measured:

* A plan for evacuating children in child care

* A plan for reuniting families after disasters

* A plan for children with disabilities and those with access and functional needs

* A multihazard plan for all K-12 schools

The group looked at preparedness for different types of emergencies:

* An evacuation and lockdown plan for a shooter situation, which was exemplified at Arapahoe High School.

* A safe room situation when schools are threatened by a natural disaster. One example where Colorado did well with that was during the floods last year.

Save the Children says it came to Colorado to update child care standards when the flooding happened — and Colorado did.

DPS has made major improvements when it comes to safety, spending $6 million to upgrade security. DPS schools now have silent alarms and a key-card system that allows officers quick access in case of an emergency.

Along with analyzing every state, Save the Children also surveyed parents across the country. That survey showed 67 percent of parents don’t know if their child’s school practices emergency drills.
