School Safety & Security Seminar

September 24-25, 2019

 

When your school accepts a student, you not only take on the responsibility for educating them, you also accept the responsibility for their safety while they are in your care. A recent study by Safe School identified four major concerns for students and parents regarding schools:

·         Does the school and an Injury and Illness Prevention Plan?

·         Does the school address bullying and harassment?

·         Does the school have a plan to protect students during a disaster?

·         Can the school keep the student safe from terrorist?

 

Schools that provide a safe and secure environment benefit by:

·         Preventing bullying / harassment

·         Deescalating school violence

·         Increase in teacher retention

·         Students achieving higher grades
