K-12 School Safety

K-12 school safety involves measures and strategies to protect students, staff, and visitors from harm while at school. This includes physical security like secure entrances and surveillance, emergency preparedness such as drills and plans, and fostering a positive school climate to prevent bullying or violence. Schools also collaborate with law enforcement and mental health providers to address potential risks. The goal is to create a secure environment where students can learn and grow without fear, ensuring readiness and resilience in the face of emergencies or threats.
