Reducing Incidents

There is a centuries-old expression that goes, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." The same can be said for school safety. Safer and more effective schools do not happen automatically. This requires the best thoughts and efforts from a broad community coalition led by school administrators.

Many school districts invest considerable effort into the development of school safety and crisis management plans, only to let them languish. Reducing the potential for a safety incident requires a constant vigilance, thoughtful planning, sustained training and implementation, and continual monitoring and incident tracking. The SafeSchools system is conceptualized and designed around sustained implementation and continual monitoring.
